Program Plan Intro

Fuel efficiency of a multi-leg journey

Program Plan:

  • Declare the “MPG” function.
    • Assign the values to the variables.
    • Iterate the “for” loop until it reaches the last line in the text file.
      • Set the value.
    • Check “leg” is not equal to newline.
      • In “try” block,
        • Split the odometer reading and amount of gas from the user input and assign it into the separate variables.
        • Increment the “count” value.
        • Calculate the distance traveled, total distance.
        • Calculate the MPG for leg.
        • Set the new odometer reading.
        • Display the leg.
        • Add values to trip total.
        • Break the function.
          • In exception block, break the function.
          • Return the value to the main function.
  • Declare a main function. Inside the main function,
    • Get the input file name from the user.
    • Open the file.
    • Get the starting odometer reading from the user.
    • Call the function “MPG”.
    • Calculate the total MPG.
    • Display the result.
  • Call the main function.

I need to modify this code to be able to read from a file and write into a file. The program is working as it should but I need an example of how to change my input and accept a file instead.
C++ A teacher is requiring her students to line up in alphabetical order, according to their first names..For example, in one class Chapel, Christine would be at the front and Uhura, Nyota would be last. The program will get the names from a file using getline since the file name includes spaces. The names should be read in until there is no more data to read. The program should prompt the user for the file name and read the data from the file. Note that these names might include spaces; handle your input accordingly. The expected output is two names; do not show the entire file.  Do not use arrays or sorting for this problem.
