CS 222 Homework Assignment 6 ASCII File I/O

By Hassnain Jamil -

Introduction

For this assignment, you will perform basic ASCII file Input and Output. Your program will read a series of questions from an input file, present them to the user, get the user's responses to the questions, and write both the questions and the responses to an output file.

Specifications

You program will begin by prompting the user to enter two filenames. The first filename will be the input file that contains the questions. The second filename will be the output file where the questions and responses will be written. Once the filenames are known, the program will open the two files, one for input and one for output.

Your program will then enter a loop which will read each question from the input file, print the question to the console, and get the user's response to the question from the console. It will then write both the question and response to the output file. Your program will continue to do this until there are no more questions to be read from the input file. It will then close both files and exit.

You may assume that no question in the input file will be longer than 80 characters, and that there will be no user response longer than 80 characters. Your program will handle errors gracefully, such as when the input file doesn't exist, or there is an issue opening the output file. In these cases, you will print an error message to the console and exit the program. Your source code file will follow the standard file naming conventions found in earlier labs (HW6_username.c).

Testing and Submitting:

Test your program on Zeus to make sure it compiles and runs properly in various types of cases. Perform proper error checking. A file containing questions, questions.txt, is included as part of this homework assignment. Use this file for testing.Create a Makefile to compile the program. (Tip: It is usually easier to copy and modify an existing Makefile than creating one from scratch.)Place your source code, the questions.txt file and Makefile in a directory specifically created for Homework 6. This directory name will also follow standard naming conventions. Then create a typescript showing that you are currently logged into zeus, that your program can be compiled using the Makefile, and then perform a run of the program, using output.txt for the name of the output file.Create a tarfile of your directory that contains the typescript, your source code and Makefile, and the input and output files.

[SOLVED] Tape for a Turing Machine using Doubly-linked List in Java with full source code

By Anonymous -
Tape for a Turing Machine (Doubly-linked List) Short exercise in which you will code part of an existing project. In this case, you will be working with a doubly-linked list. To make this topic more interesting, the list that you work on will be part of a Turing Machine. A Turing Machine is a kind of very simple, abstract computing device that was introduced in the 1930's by Alan Turing as a way of studying computation and its limitations. The classes that you need for the lab are in a package named turing. You will define a new class named Tape in this package. You can find the Java source in the code directory. You should copy this directory into an Eclipse project. There will be errors, since the existing classes depend on the Tape class, which you have not yet written. Don't forget the Javadoc comments. A Class for Turing Machine Tapes A Turing machine works on a "tape" that is used for both input and output. The tape is made up of little squares called cell...

[SOLVED] ICT285 Databases TMA 2017 Assignment 1 | Relational Algebra, Database Design & Implementation

By Anonymous -
Relational Algebra A database records information about athletes competing at the Olympics. An athlete competes for a particular country in one or more events. Events take place at a scheduled day and time in a particular venue. The result (rank) is recorded for all athletes in the final of the event. The medal (gold, silver or bronze) is also recorded for the medal winners in the event. Note that we are not considering team sports or heats in this example – only individuals competing in the finals. The schema for this database is as follows: (Note that primary keys are shown underlined, foreign keys in bold). ATHLETE ( AthleteNo , AthleteName, CountryName) COUNTRY ( CountryName , NumberOfCompetitors) EVENT (EventName, ScheduledStart, VenueName ) VENUE (VenueName, City, Capacity) FINAL ( AthleteNo , EventName , Rank, Medal) Provide relational algebra (NOT SQL) queries to find the following informaList the name and country of all athletes. List the event name and scheduled...
