C++: Matching Program
Create a datafile that contains the first name, last name, gender, age, height, smoking preference, eye color and phone number. Add a variety of records to the file. A sample file looks like:
Write a program that opens the file and reads the records one by one. The program will skip any records where the gender preference is not a match. Of those records that match the gender preference, check to see if the age and height are between the maximum and minum preferences. Then check to see if the smoking preference and eye color are also a match. If at least 3 of the remaining fields match, consider the record a partial match, and print it in the report. If all 4 of the remaining fields match, the record is a perfect match and print it in the report with an asterisk next to it. At the end of the program, close the file and report how many total records there were of the specified gender, how many were a partial match, and how many were a perfect match. See the…
This is the most effective file organization method in which one must handle all data records in a file named

The user is asked to enter the values for records untih the user enters the value zero (0) for the name then the loop should be terminated. 3. Then, the application should read and check each record in the text file and print out all the records that have an ID less than 6 digits. Note: • The file should be opened only once for writing otherwise the previous content will be truncated. • Make sure you handle all expected exceptions that might be caused by the provided code.

- The Spring fork amateur golf club has a tournament every weekend. The club president has asked you to design a program. It contains the following menu: Select the task 1. Add new records 2. Read Records 3. End the program If the user enters 1, the program will read each players name and golf score as keyboard input, then save the records in a file names golf.dat If the user enters 2, the program reads the records from the golf.dat file and displays them. While the menu selection is not equal to 3, get the user selection. If the selection is 1, get the number of players in the tournament, open the output file. For each player, get the name and the score, and write them to the file. Close the file. If the selection is 2, open the input file, read the values from the file, display the values, close the file.
