- I have to create a program that will create a database when using geo points. I will include a previous program and the instructions: You are going to change program 8 so that instead of reading in a list of five or more points from a file you will read the points in from a database. Create a program the will create your database and insert at least five points. Use your own data, something like: 100, 200, 123, Main Campus 120, 133, 142, Montoya 153, 123, 322, Rio Rancho 133, 123, 143, STEMULUS Center 153, 142, 122, ATC Run your initialization code to create the database. Modify your GUI program from program 8 so that it reads points from your database instead of a file. Turn in the initialization code, the database and your new GUI program.arrow_forwardComputer system there is a total of 16 blocks with file occupying the following set of block number : f1(1,12,6,9,14,2) F2(10,3) F3(7,15,4) Do allocation with indexed allocation method with 3 direct pointers and one index block pointer، draw the file directory and blocks on diskarrow_forward1)Assume an index record occupies 8 bytes (4 for key, 4 for disk pointer).

- -Inventory given through picture -Language from C++03 The fill will have the following specifications: Each record consists of two lines. The first line contains the name of the product, which may be more than one word long. The second line contains the wholesale price as a decimal, the markup as a percentage, and three quantities, for counter, shelf, and warehouse. If the first line of a record contains the word END all by itself, that is the end of the file. Your task is to read each record into the program, as a string for the name, and numbers for the price and markup, and as an array of numbers for the quantities. Then calculate the total profit for each item: (wholesale price) * (markup, converted into a decimal) * (total quantity). Print out a report on one line for each item: Name, total profit. Format the output nicely: names should fit in 30 characters and the prices should line up and should have two decimal places.
