Opening Files and Performing File Input Summary In this lab, you open a file and read input from that file in a prewritten C++ program. The program should read and print the names of flowers and whether they are grown in shade or sun. The data is stored in the input file named flowers.dat. Instructions Ensure the source code file named Flowers.cpp is open in the code editor. Declare the variables you will need. Write the C++ statements that will open the input file flowers.dat for reading. Write a while loop to read the input until EOF is reached. In the body of the loop, print the name of each flower and where it can be grown (sun or shade). Execute the program by clicking the Run button at the bottom of the screen.

Opening Files and Performing File Input

Summary

In this lab, you open a file and read input from that file in a prewritten C++ program. The program should read and print the names of flowers and whether they are grown in shade or sun. The data is stored in the input file named flowers.dat.

Instructions

  1. Ensure the source code file named Flowers.cpp is open in the code editor.
  2. Declare the variables you will need.
  3. Write the C++ statements that will open the input file flowers.dat for reading.
  4. Write a while loop to read the input until EOF is reached.
  5. In the body of the loop, print the name of each flower and where it can be grown (sun or shade).
  6. Execute the program by clicking the Run button at the bottom of the screen.

Use Given Files

File #1: Flowers.cpp

// Flowers.cpp - This program reads names of flowers and whether they are grown in shade or sun from an input 
// file and prints the information to the user's screen. 
// Input:  flowers.dat.
// Output: Names of flowers and the words sun or shade.

#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
   // Declare variables here
      
   // Open input file
   
   
   // Write while loop that reads records from file.
   fin >> flowerName;
   
      // Print flower name using the following format
      //cout << var << " grows in the " << var2 << endl;
      
   fin.close();   
   return 0;
} // End of main function
