Punch Line

Write a program that reads and prints a joke and its punch line from two different files. The first file contains a joke, but not its punch line. The second file has the punch line as its last line, preceded by “garbage.” The main function of your program should open the two files then call two functions, passing each one the file it needs. The first function should read and display each line in the file it is passed (the joke file). The second function should display only the last line of the file it is passed (the punch line file). It should find this line by seeking to the end of the file and then backing up to the beginning of the last line. Data to test your program can be found in the joke.txt and punchline.txt files.

INTRO JAVA A hotel salesperson enters sales in a text file. Each line contains the following, separated by semicolons: The name of the client, the service sold (such as Dinner, Conference, Lodging, and so on), the amount of the sale, and the date of that event. Write a program that (a) reads input file and displays the total amount for each service category. (b) writes a separate file for each service category, containing the entries for that category ; the file name should be <ServiceCategory.txt> ; so if the input has Dinner and Conference as service categories, the output file will be Dinner.txt and Conference.txt Note: Display an error if the file does not exist or the format is incorrect. Create your own input file using the format described above, here are few lines from the input file: John Doe; Dinner; 45.69;04/19/2020 Sean Kim; Conference; 1000.00; 05/03/2021 Mike Jones;Conference;750.00;05/01/2021 Jane Smith;Dinner;50.00;04/19/2021   The program should generate the…
PROGRAM NEEDS TO MATCH EXAMPLE PHOTO Write a program ( lab6.cpp ) that gives and takes advice on program writing. The program starts by writing a piece of advice to the screen and asking the user to type in a different piece of advice. The program then ends. The next person to run the program receives the advice given by the person who last ran the program. The advice is kept in a file, and the contents of the file change after each run of the program. You can use your editor to enter the initial piece of advice in the file so that the first person who runs the program receives some advice. Allow the user to type in advice of any length so that it can be any number of lines long. The user is told to end his or her advice by pressing the Return key two times. Your program can then test to see that it has reached the end of the input by checking to see when it reads two consecutive occurrences of the character ‘\n’. Hints:- You need to look at each character as it is read to see if it is…
