Instructions For this assignment, imagine you are burning some music CDs for a party. You have arranged a list of songs in the order you want to play them. However, you would like to maximize your use of space on the CD, which holds 80 minutes of music. To do so, you want to figure out the total time for a group of songs and see how well they fit. Write and design a C++ program to help you accomplish this task. The number of seconds for each song is already provided for you below: 310 462 627 273 300 535 259 625 736 122 215 Save this table in a separate data file and name it “songs.txt” Save it in the same folder as your program file. The time is entered as seconds. For example, if a song takes 7 minutes and 42 seconds to play, the data entered for that song would be…arrow_forwardWhen working with a file, you have access to data from the beginning to the finisharrow_forward
- Objective: Practice file handling Lab Description: Write a python script (with comments) that computes the average score for an unknown number of students in a file. Specifically, your script should: Ask for a filename name (that has scores in it) Open the scores file Verify the scores file opened correctly Read the student's name and their four scores Display the student's name, all of their scores and their average to the screen Writes the students name and the scores' average to a file name "averages.csv" Close both files For example, the following are examples of correct execution (with the text in bold being the input from the user): Input file project4-inputA.txt: Output to the screen: Output file "averages.csv" Мary 76 89 82 100 Joey Please enter the scores filename: project4-inputA.txt # Student name, grade average You entered project4-inputA.txt Opened scores file project4-inputA.txt Mary scores: 76.0 89.0 82.0 100.0 average: 86.75 Joey scores: 91.0 81.0 83.0 95.0 average:…arrow_forwardGiven a set of values in a file, find the largest number in that set and output the value.
