c++)The goals of this assignment are:

  • Create and use functions
  • Implement pass-by-reference and pass-by-value function coupling
  • Use character arrays and the cstring library
  • Use an array of struct to model a collection
  • Use file i/o

The program you need to write in this assignment will prompt the user for an input text file name, and then generate a keyword index for the file. A "keyword index" is a list of every distinct word that appears in the file, followed by the lines in which the word appears. For example, if the input file is:

as01> more input This This This is a line is a line done This line

Then the keyword index would be:

Keyword Index: "This" appears on lines: 1 5 "a" appears on lines: 2 3 "done" appears on lines: 4 "is" appears on lines: 2 3 "line" appears on lines: 2 3 6

Note the following details:

  1. Each word in the file appears only one time in the index, no matter how many times it appears in the file.
  2. The index is presented in "ASCII code order", not the order in which the words are encountered in the input file.
  3. The list of lines for each word is presented in ascending order. Each line appears only once, no matter how many times the word appears on a line.
  4. In your interface file (main.h) include the following libraries (and only these libraries):

    1. #include
    2. #include
    3. #include
    4. #include
    5. #include

Algorithm

The algorithm for creating a keyword index is:

  1. Read a word from the input file
  2. Scan the index and determine if the word is already present in the index
  3. If the word is not already in the index, insert the word in the proper position in the index
  4. Scan the list of lines for the word to determine if the current file line number is already in the list of lines
  5. If the current file line number is not already in the list of lines, insert the current file line number in the proper position in the list of lines
  6. Repeat until no more words in the file
  7. Here are some additional design requirements for this assignment:

    1. Implement and use at least one struct
    2. Implement and use at least one array of struct
    3. Implement at least one function that uses pass-by-value coupling.
    4. Implement at least one function that uses pass-by-reference coupling.
    5. You may not use C++ string objects! Use char arrays (C-Strings) for all strings
