You must open a text file, read in each word until end of file, add each word to the WordCount library and print the report. Your program must request a filename of a text file that contains words to count. You must check to see if it is a valid file and issue an error message if not and request a new file name until a valid one is entered. You must have at least one function that either passes in a parameter and at least one function that returns a value. You can have a single routine that does both. You must declare the class object properly, use AddWord() to add the word to the catalog and use PrintSummary() to produce the output.
