True or FalseAs items are read from the file, the read position moves forward, toward the end of the file.
File Operations:Write a complete program that reads integers from a file called numbers.txt, and displays their sum on the screen.
Example:
If the content of numbers.txt is: 10 20 30 100
The program should print: 160
Create a program that asks the user for the name of a file and then rearranges the contents of the file so that its lines are in alphabetical order. The program should modify the file, not just print its contents to the screen. Use the STL algorithm sort.

- Item Counter Assume that a file containing a series of names (as strings) is named names.dat and exists on the computer’s disk. Design a program that displays the number of names that are stored in the file. (Hint: Open the file and read every string stored in it. Each time you read a string, increment a counter variable. When you’ve read all the strings from the file, the counter variable will contain the number of names stored in the file.)arrow_forwardAssume that a file containing a series of names (as strings) is named names.txt and exists on the computer’s disk.

This DNA test measures the various parts of the sequence and assigns them a letter. While the letters could be anything from A to Z, the only letters that matter for this test are the letters {A,B,C,D} all other letters can be ignored completely. A sample will be tested, given a length of time and then tested again. Each time the scientist will generate a line of data. Here is one Example: Example #1 AAAAABBBBBCCCCCDDDDD AAEBCBAFBBCDCECDADDEFEEFFF At first glance the sample looks significantly different after the second test.

The file contains a list of words separated by commas. The program must output the words and their frequencies (the number of times each word appears in the file) without any duplicates. Ex: If the input is: input1.csv and the contents of input1.csv are: hello,cat,man,hey,dog,boy,Hello,man,cat,woman,dog,Cat,hey,boy the output is: hello - 1 cat - 2 man - 2 hey - 2 dog - 2 boy - 2 Hello - 1 woman - 1 Cat - 1 Notes: Output words in order of first occurrence in input and end output with a newline.
