Question

write a C++ program that permits users to enter the following information about your small company’s 5 employees and then writes the information to a file “employee.txt”:
ID No.   Sex (M/F) Hourly Wage Years with the Company
Make sure that you open the file for write using the two-step process of “trial read followed by write” so that an existing file with the same name does not get inadvertently clobbered.
Close all open files after completing read or write operations.
Test your program thoroughly. Using WordPad or Notepad, print out the content of the created file “employee.txt” residing in your project folder

Answer 1

CODE:

#include<iostream>
#include<fstream>

using namespace std;
//main method
int main(){
//two files
fstream fileTest, file;
//opening the TestFile to check whether there already exists such a file
fileTest.open("employee.txt",ios::in);
if(fileTest == NULL){
//if it doesn't
fileTest.close();
//new file is created
file.open("employee.txt",ios::out);
cout<<"File Created"<<endl;
//asks the use the data of 5 employees
for(int i=0;i<5;i++){
//asking the Id, sex, wager, years
cout<<"Enter the ID number: ";
string id;
cin>>id;
cout<<"Enter Sex(M/F): ";
string sex;
cin>>sex;
cout<<"Enter the hourly wage: ";
double wager;
cin>>wager;
cout<<"Enter the number of years worked with the company: ";
int years;
cin>>years;
//printing the details to the file
file<<"ID No: "<<id<<" Sex: "<<sex<<" Hourly wage: $"<<wager<<"/hour Years worked with the company: "<<years<<" years"<<endl;
}
file.close();
}else{
//if the fileTest is not null the code exits
cout<<"File already exists!"<<endl;
}
return 0;
}
