Instructions: The following programming problem can be solved by a program that performs three basic tasks (Input Data, Process Data, Output Results) along with selection and repetition coding techniques. Word Count and File I/O

Problem Statement

Write a program that will utilize a text input file and compute the listed specifications. The text input file "data.txt" is listed below. Build your program in steps to code,debug and test one section at a time.

1. The average number of characters per word. Print the result to "result.txt".

2. A count of the number words of each length. Please precisely follow the output format listed below:

1. 12 words of length 2

2. 11 words of length 3

3. 10 words of length 4.

4. xx words of length 11 or longer

5. etc....

6. Print this result to "result.txt".

3. Calculate the total number of words in the input file. Print the result to "result.txt".

1. Note: A word, for this program, is defined as a string of symbols that is followed by a blank, comma, period, or end of line.

4. Capitalize all letters in the file. Write the results to "uppercase.ba".

5. Change all letters to lower case. Write the results to "lowercase.txt" .

6. Your name and desired profession should be at the top of each output data file.

"data.txt"

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract.

The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced.

It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
