Overview

The purpose of this assignment is to make sure that you know how to write a program that

uses sorting and arrays. The program also contains functions and may perform input, output,

files and file processing, flow of control, and/or calculations.

Please note that this assignment

indicates precisely what your program should accomplish, without a precise indication of

how the program works. Part of your assignment is designing the techniques of how the

program works.

PROGRAM SPECIFICATION

For the assignment, we will read the updated file of information about the Farmers Market

named ASSGN6-B.txt, located in your assignment 6 repository on Brightspace. Recall that

the file contains the names of various farms participating in a Farmers Market. The created

output from your previous assignment should have rewritten the information in this format:

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 items total contribution to the Farmers

Market. So if there are 2 like items (i.e., there are 2 records for that item), you will add each

contribution in running totals and report that. If theres only one thats easy, its just that

one as the total.

Since the file is sequentially ordered by the farm names, we will need to perform a sorting

operation. We will need to sort by the item name so we can group and compare. You will

need to write a selection sort and sort the file as an array. You will use the item as the sort

value/key. You will need to keep the related items (total count and cost) together. You can do

this however you choose. One idea considers creating parallel arrays, one for the item count

and one with the total cost. You could then process the arrays and compare the next item in

the sorted list with the prior item, etc., grouping all totals by items as you go.

The results should be displayed in the report. Your report should look as follows:

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

= FARMERS MARKET INVENTORY =

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

artichokes: 109 items totaling $243.07

beets: 111 items totaling $12.23

...

...

There were 999 items contributed to this weeks event.

Again, if you have multiple items then those records are combined, the total number of

items and respective costs, and only one entry then appears for that particular farm. Add

the total number of items to display at end. If there are 3 beets, for example, that would

only add 1 to the count (for beets), etc...

Hint:

Youre going to want to save the previous items 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.

Make sure that your programs follow good documentation standards and follow the

requirements for assignments. Reference the rubric standards on Brightspace. Note

functions and data validation are now required. Do not use

using namespace std;
