I am trying to create a program that compares two files that contain letters from A to E. Both files have 20 of them. Now im just stuck i feel that i could use if statements but i don't know how to go along with it. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
// Function prototypes
void readFile(char[], char[], int);
void compareAnswers(char[], char[], int, int &);
void displayTestResults(int, int);
int main()
{
// Constant for the number of questions
const int NUM_QUESTIONS = 20;
// Number of questions missed.
int numMissed;
// Array to hold the correct answers
char correct[NUM_QUESTIONS];
// Array to hold the student's answers
char student[NUM_QUESTIONS];
// Read the correct answers.
readFile("CorrectAnswers.txt", correct, NUM_QUESTIONS);
// Read the student's answers.
readFile("StudentAnswers.txt", student, NUM_QUESTIONS);
// Compare the student's answers with the correct
// answers.
compareAnswers(student, correct, NUM_QUESTIONS, numMissed);
// Display the test results.
displayTestResults(numMissed, NUM_QUESTIONS);
return 0;
}
//********************************************************
// The readFile function reads the contents of *
// an answer file into an array. *
//********************************************************
void readFile(char filename[], char array[], int size)
{
// Loop counter
int count = 0;
// File stream object.
ifstream inFile;
// Open the file.
inFile.open(filename);
// Read the contents of the file into the array.
while (count < size && inFile >> array[count])
{
// Increment the counter.
count++;
}
// Close the file.
inFile.close();
}
//********************************************************
// The compareAnswers function compares the elements of *
// the student array with the elements of the correct *
// array. For each correct answer, a 'C' is stored in *
// the results array. For each incorrect answer, an 'I' *
// is stored in the results array. *
//********************************************************
void compareAnswers(char student[], char correct[],
int size, int &numMissed)
{
int count;
int correct;
int wrong;
}
//********************************************************
// displayTestResults displays the test statistics. *
//********************************************************
void displayTestResults(int numMissed, int numQuestions)
{
}
