The file will be corrupted. B. The file won't be created. C. The file will be created, but empty. D. Nothing. It's not a problem.arrow_forwardThis is phython not Java 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…arrow_forward
- PLEASE ASK THE USER IF THEY WOULD LIKE TO WRITE INTO THE FILE IF THEY CHOOSE NOT TO DELETE THE FILE, AND WRITE IT INTO THE FILE Write a complete java program that: asks the user for a filename tests whether the file exists and tells the user if it does exist ask the user whether it should be deleted. Either delete or do not delete the file based on the user input. If they don't delete it, ask them if they would like to write to the file If they want to write, ask what they want to write to the file and write it. Make sure to provide plenty of console output dialog specifying what status/actions are taken at each step.arrow_forwardYou are given a filename. Read the names in the file and output only the initials. For example, if the filename is "data.txt", and the file content in "data.txt" is Dumond, Kristin Larson, Lois the output should be: KD LLarrow_forwardC++ 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.arrow_forward
- 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.
