a.

Program Plan Intro

Program Plan:

  • Include library files for various operations.
  • Declare object ofofstream.
  • Create a statement to open the write data to the file “employee.dat”.
  • Use if statement with fail() method to check that the entered file name is available or not.
  • int main() function is used to perform all the task.
  • Display the calculated results to the user.

Program Description: The main purpose of the program is to create a text file, “employee.dat” and to write the given data to the file.

b.

Program Plan Intro

Program Plan:

  • Include library files for various operations.
  • Declare objects ofifstream and ofstream.
  • Declare required variable.
  • Create two statements to open “employee.dat” and “employee.bak” file.
  • Use if statement with fail() method to check that the entered file name is available or not.
  • int main() function is used to perform all the task.
  • Display the calculated results to the user.

Program Description: The main purpose of the program is to modify the program code of part (a) so that the program code can create a duplicate copy of the text file with the name “employee.bak”, that contains all the data of “employee.dat” file.

c.

Program Plan Intro

Program Plan:

  • Include library files for various operations.
  • Declare objects ofifstream and ofstream.
  • Declare required variable.
  • Read file names from the user.
  • Create two statements to open “employee.dat” and “employee.bak” file.
  • Use if statement with fail() method to check that the entered file name is available or not.
  • int main() function is used to perform all the task.
  • Display the calculated results to the user.

Program Description: The main purpose of the program is to modify the program code of part (b)so that the program code will read the name of the original and duplicate file from the user, creates a duplicate copy of the text file with name “employee.bak”, that contains all the data of “employee.dat” file.

d.
