Computer Science C++

Overview

The purpose of this assignment is to make sure that you know how to write a program that uses files and file processing. The program also contains functions and does input, output, flow of control and/or calculations.

PROGRAM SPECIFICATION

For the assignment, we will read the updated file of information about the Farmers Market that is named ASSGN6-B.txt, located in your assignment 6 repository on Springboard. This file contains the names of various farms participating in a Farmers Market. The informationis in this format:

Field or data item in the file	Data type	Notes
Farm name	String of characters	This should end with a comma
Count of item	Integer	Number of items
Item	String	Name of the item
Item price	Float or double	Unit cost of each item
Total price	Float or double	The unit cost * count of items

Reminder that when reading the information into your program, the space between each field should have remained consistent and guaranteed. Also, we will not need to validate the information in this program. Your program will read the file and report on each farmstotal contribution to the Farmers Market. So if a farm has contributed 2 items (i.e., there are 2 records for that farm), you will add each contribution in running totals and report that. If theres only one thats easy, its just that one as the total. The farms are sequentially ordered by their names, and you simply need to compare the next farm read with the last farm read. Your report should look as follows:

==============================================================

= FARMERS MARKET INVENTORY =

==============================================================

Collins Farm 43900 items contributed totaling $29413.00

Rutherford Farms, Inc. 1468 items contributed totaling $1189.40*

There were 999 unique farms contributing to this weeks event.

*Notice in the example that multiple farm records are combined, the total items and respective costs, and only one entry then appears for that particular farm. Add the total number of unique farms to display at end.

Hint: Youre going to want to save the previous items farm name, and then compare that to the one you are reading. Use the string compare operator for equality (such as stringName1 != stringName2). Make sure that your timing is right when printing.

Make sure you break your code into functions. Open your files in main and pass them by reference.
