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 and 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.dat and punch1ine.dat files.

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…arrow_forwardPROGRAM 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…arrow_forward
- C++ Visual Studio 2019 Write a program that asks the user for the name of a file. The program should display the contents of the file on the screen. Each line of screen output should be preceded with a line number, followed by a colon. The line numbering should start at 1. Here is an example: George Rolland 127 Academy Street Brasstown, NC 28706 If the file's contents won't fit on a single screen, the program should display 24 lines of output at a time, and then pause. Each time the program pauses, it should wait for the user to strike a key before the next 24 lines are displayed. Note: Save text below as the file to use and name it forChap12.txt file for this assignment. The line numbers should NOT be reset for each screen. Text: No one is unaware of the name of that famous English shipowner, Cunard.

- JAVA PPROGRAM Write a program that prompts the user to enter a file name, then opens the file in text mode and reads names. The file contains one name on each line. The program then compares each name with the name that is at the end of the file in a symmetrical position. For example if the file contains 10 names, the name #1 is compared with name #10, name #2 is compared with name #9, and so on. If you find matches you should print the name and the line numbers where the match was found. While entering the file name, the program should allow the user to type quit to exit the program. If the file with a given name does not exist, then display a message and allow the user to re-enter the file name. The file may contain up to 100 names. You can use an array or ArrayList object of your choosing, however you can only have one array or ArrayList. Input validation: a) If the file does not exist, then you should display a message "File 'somefile.txt' is not found." and allow the…arrow_forwardThis Python Lab 9 Lab: Write a file copying program. The program asks for the name of the file to copy from (source file) and the name of the file to copy to (destination file). The program opens the source file for reading and the destination file for writing. As the program reads each line from the source file and it writes the line to the destination file. When every line from the source file has been written to the destination file, it close both files and print “Copy is successful.” In the sample run, “add.py” is the source file and “add-copy.py” is the destination file. Note that both “add-copy.py” is identical to “add.py” because “add-copy.py” is a copy of “add.py”. Sample run: Enter file to copy from: add.py Enter file to copy to : add-copy.py Copy is successful. Source file: add.py print("This program adds two numbers") a = int(input("Enter first number: ")) b = int(input("Enter second number: ")) print(f"{a} + {b} = {a+b}") Destination file:…arrow_forwardC++ Create a program that reads a file containing a list of songs and prints the songs to the screen one at a time. After each song is printed, except for the last song, the program asks the user to press enter for more. After the last song, the program should say that this was the last song and quit. If there were no songs in the file to begin with, the program should say that there are no songs to show and quit. The program should begin by asking the user for the name of the input file. Each song consists of a title, artist, and year. In the file, each song is given on three consecutive lines. Create this program using a class Song.arrow_forward
