Before you keep reading...

Runestone Academy can only continue if we get support from individuals like you. As a student you are well aware of the high cost of textbooks. Our mission is to provide great books to you for free, but we ask that you consider a $10 donation, more if you can or less if $10 is a burden.

Before you keep reading...

Making great stuff takes time and $$. If you appreciate the book you are reading now and want to keep quality materials free for other students please consider a donation to Runestone Academy. We ask that you consider a $10 donation, but if you can give more thats great, if $10 is too much for your budget we would be happy with whatever you can afford as a show of support.

Data file: poem.txt

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference

Write a program that takes in an input file called poem.txt and prints the first 5 lines to the terminal. Include proper file error checking.

#include <iostream> #include <fstream> using namespace std; // Write your code here.

Below are the contents of the input file.

Below is one way to implement this program. We create an ifstream object to open our file. We check to make sure the file is opened correctly before we use getline in a for loop to retrieve and print the first 5 lines of the poem.

#include <iostream> #include <fstream> using namespace std; int main() { ifstream infile("poem.txt"); string input; if (!infile.good()) { cout << "Error. Unable to open file." << endl; exit(1); } for (int i = 0; i < 5; ++i) { getline(infile, input); cout << input << endl; } }

We choose to go to the Moon. We choose to go to the Moon...
We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, 
not because they are easy, but because they are hard; because that goal 
will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, 
because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are 
unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win, and the others, too

Write a program that takes in an input file called heights.txt, finds the median of the data, and prints “The median height is: height inches” to the terminal. Include proper file error checking.

#include <iostream> #include <fstream> #include <vector> #include <algorithm> using namespace std; // Write your code here.

Below are the contents of the input file.

62  67      75      68      65

61  60      73      72      60

Below is one way to implement this program. We create an ifstream object to open our file. We check to make sure the file is opened correctly before we read the data values into a vector. After sorting the vector, we find the median depending on whether the number of data values was even or odd. Finally, we output our result to the terminal.

#include <iostream> #include <fstream> #include <vector> #include <algorithm> using namespace std; int main() { ifstream infile("heights.txt"); vector<int> data; double median; int height; if (!infile.good()) { cout << "Error. Unable to open file." << endl; exit(1); } while (infile >> height) { data.push_back(height); } sort(data.begin(), data.end()); if (data.size() % 2 == 0) { median = (data[data.size() / 2 - 1] + data[data.size() / 2]) / 2.0; } else { median = data[data.size() / 2]; } cout << "The median height is: " << median << " inches" << endl; }

Data file: message.txt

Can you encrypt this message and decrypt the message below?
Pbatenghyngvbaf! Lbh'ir qrpelcgrq guvf zrffntr

ROT13 is a simple Caesar cipher that replaces each letter in a string with the 13th letter after it in the alphabet. For example, using ROT13 on the letter “a” would turn it into “n”. Notice how since 13 is exactly half the number of characters in the alphabet, using ROT13 on the letter “n” would turn it into “a”. Thus, ROT13 can be used to encrypt and decrypt messages. Write a program that takes in an input file called message.txt, applies ROT13, and outputs the result to the terminal. Include proper file error checking.

#include <iostream> #include <fstream> #include <cctype> using namespace std; int main() { // Write your code here. }

Below are the contents of the input file.

Below is one way to implement this program. We create an ifstream object to open our file. We check to make sure the file is opened correctly before we read the data values into a string. We call our ROT13 function and output the result to the output file.

#include <iostream> #include <fstream> #include <cctype> using namespace std; string ROT13 (string message) { for (size_t i = 0; i < message.size(); ++i) { if (isalpha(message[i])) { if (message[i] >= 'A' && message[i] <= 'Z') { if (message[i] <= 'M') { message[i] = message[i] + 13; } else { message[i] = message[i] - 13; } } else { if (message[i] <= 'm') { message[i] = message[i] + 13; } else { message[i] = message[i] - 13; } } } } return message; } int main() { ifstream infile("message.txt"); string message; if (!infile.good()) { cout << "Error. Unable to open file." << endl; exit(1); } while (getline(infile, message)) { cout << ROT13(message) << endl; } }

Below is one way to implement this program. We create an ifstream object to open our file. We check to make sure the file is opened correctly before we read the data values into corresponding variables. We check if the GPA is at least 3.5, and print the data values to the terminal if so.

#include <iostream> #include <fstream> using namespace std; int main() { ifstream infile("class_data.txt"); string fname, lname; int grade, age; double gpa; if (!infile.good()) { cout << "Error.

Data file: mult_table.txt

Write a program that creates a multiplication table for the first 10 numbers using a matrix and outputting the table to an output file called mult_table.txt. Include proper file error checking.

#include <iostream> #include <fstream> #include <vector> using namespace std; int main() { // Write your code here. }

Below is one way to implement this program. We create a 10x10 matrix and fill in the products. Then we traverse through the matrix and output the values into the output file.

#include <iostream> #include <fstream> #include <vector> using namespace std; int main() { ofstream outfile("mult_table.txt"); if (!outfile.good()) { cout << "Error. Unable to open file." << endl; exit(1); } vector<int> rows(10); vector<vector<int> > mat; for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i) { mat.push_back(rows); } for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i) { for (int j = 0; i < 10; ++j) { matrix[i][j] = (i + 1) * (j + 1); } } for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i) { for (int j = 0; i < 10; ++j) { outfile << matrix[i][j] << '\t'; } cout << endl; } }
