Write a
Largest and Smallest numbers
Program Plan:
- Include the required headers.
- Define “main()” method.
- Declare the required “int” and “char” variables.
- Prompt the user for input file.
- Read the required input file.
- Create the object for “ifstream”.
- Open the required file.
- Check the file can be opened or not using “if” condition.
- If the file includes any error, print file “cannot be opened”.
- Initialize the input and check for largest and smallest numbers present in the file.
- Print the output using “cout”
- Return the required variable.
- Close the “main()” method.
The below C++ program describes about the displaying of largest and smallest values among the numbers present in a given file.
Explanation of Solution
Program:
//Include the needed headers
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <climits>
using namespace std;
//main() Method
int main()
{
//Declaration of int variable sum
int sum = 0;
//Declaration of char variable file_name
char file_name [31];
//Declaration of input and index
int input, i = 0;
//Declaration of largest
int largest = -INT_MAX;
//Declaration of smallest
int smallest = INT_MAX;
//prompt the user for input file name
cout << "Enter a file name."
<< " This Program limits file names to"
<< endl
<< " a maximum of 30 characters. " << endl;
//read the input file name
cin >> file_name;
//creating object for ifstream
ifstream infile;
//a handle for opening the input file
infile.open(file_name);
//check the condition
if(!infile)
{
//display the error
cout << "Cannot open file " << file_name
<< " Aborting program " << endl;
//stop and exit
exit (1);
}
//initialize the input
infile >> input;
//start the loop
while(infile)
{
//check the condition
if(input > largest)
//get the largest value
largest = input;
//check the file
if(input < smallest)
//get the smallest value
smallest = input;
cout << input << " " << endl;
infile >> input;
}
//display the output
cout << "smallest in file = " << smallest
<< " largest in file = " << largest << endl;
getchar();
getchar();
//return the required value
return 0;
}

- Write a program that will read a message from another text file and surround each occurrence of an abbreviation with <> brackets.arrow_forwardWrite a program that takes its input from a binary file of numbers of type double and outputs the average of the numbers in the file to the screen. The file contains nothing but numbers of type double written to the file with write Double.arrow_forwardWrite a program to read two file names from the command line. If the number of arguments in the command line are more than or less than two, then the program should terminate with an appropriate error message. Otherwise, it should open the first file and copy its contents into the second file, in effect overwriting its contents, if any.arrow_forward
- Write a program that reads 5 integer numbers from a file"integer.txt",and store sum and average in "result.txt".arrow_forwardWrite a program that will sequentially list numbers from 0 to 50, changing its color depending on the size of the number, for example, for numbers from 0 to 10 it will be green, 11 to 22 red and 23 to 35 blue, etc. Limit the screen output speed to about 1 character / second. In order to change colors, you must first use the GetStdHandle function to get a handle to the console, which is similar to getting a file pointer before working with a file. It is done e.g. as follows: HANDLE hConsole; hConsole = GetStdHandle (STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE); The above functions are defined in windows.h Tip 2: Write a utility to find out the colors corresponding to all combinations from 0 to 255. Tip 3: Instructions and sample program for working with time. C language plz with explanation of codes. thanksarrow_forwardWrite a program that reads student data from a file, compute their GPA and writes the results to a different file. 1. The user should have the option to either enter their text file that contains the student grades or use the provided text file that contains theinformation. The data in "indata.txt" should look similar to this, Lara_Croft75 70 91 69 89Chris_Redfield68 88 79 85 94Johnny_Cochran69 98 95 77 80Wanda_Maximoff84 86 98 95 92Luke_Skywalker74 96 80 98 97William_Kurt89 52 99 81 58Samuel_Jackson50 96 50 64 95END_OF_FILE This is supposed to be in python. This is what I have so far. I have no experience I apologise. I am trying to finish the GPA calculating program currently but am having trouble finishing it. grade = input("enter grades")points = 0 if grade is 90-99:total_points = 4.0if grade is 80-89:total_points = 3.0if grade is 70-79:total_points = 2.0if grade is 60-69:total_points = 1.0if grade is 50-59:total_points = 0.0gpa = total_points/len(grade)print(gpa,"is gpa")arrow_forward
- Write a program to read all the values in the attached file test_scores.csv, calculate the total of the values, average of all values, then display them on screen.arrow_forwardWrite a program that removes all the occurrences of a specified string from a text file.Removes the string from the specified file. Your program should get the arguments from the command line.arrow_forwardWrite a program that prompts the user to enter the name ofan author and the title of one their books. It writes the author’s name to a file.Their book’s titleis written at the end of a file Books.txt with the line number of the author’sname in Authors.txt inserted before the title. Assume that the title is notalready stored in Books.txt and the author name is already in Authors.txt.arrow_forward
