Program Assignment: File Analysis

Objective: Create a C$++$ program that reads data from a file, performs analysis, and produces a report.

Program Components:

File Reading:

Implement a function read$\_$data$\_$from$\_$file$($file$\_$path$)$ that takes a file path as input and reads the contents of the file.

The file contains numerical data, with each number on a separate line.

Use attached input file named, 'data.txt$\text{'}$ for your test.

Data Analysis:

Implement a function analyze$\_$data$($data$)$ that takes a list of numerical data as input and performs the following:

Calculate the average value.

Find the minimum and maximum values.

Count the total number of data points.

Looping and Control Flow:

Use a loop to iterate through the data and perform the necessary calculations.

Report Generation:

Generate a report containing the analysis results.

Display the average, minimum, maximum, and total number of data points in a formatted manner.

File Writing:

Save the report to a new file named "analysis$\_$report.txt$."$

Execution:

The user runs the program.

The program prompts the user to enter the path of the file containing numerical data.

The program reads the data from the file.

It analyzes the data using the defined functions.

The program generates a report and saves it to "analysis$\_$report.txt$."$

The report is displayed on the console.

Example Report:

Analysis Report:

Average Value: $23\mathrm{.}6$

Minimum Value: $10$

Maximum Value: $35$

Total Data Points: $5$

Note:

Ensure error handling for file not found or invalid data.

Encapsulate functionality into functions for modularity.

Utilize appropriate loop constructs for iterating through data.

Here's an example input file named data.txt:

$15$

$25$

$10$

$35$

$20$

You can use this file as a sample input for your Python program. The program will read the data from this file, perform the analysis, and generate a report based on the contents of the file.

Make sure to adjust the file path in your Python program to match the location where you save the data.txt file. For example, if you save both the Python script and the data.txt file in the same directory, you can use the file name directly $($file$\_$path $=$ "data.txt$").$
