Project File Processing.

Write a program that will read in from input file one line at a time until end of file and output the number of words in the line and the number of occurrences of each letter. Define a word to be any string of letters that is delimited at each end by either whitespace, a period, a comma or the beginning or end of the line. You can assume that the input consists entirely of letters, whitespaces, commas and periods. When outputting the number of letters that occur in a line, be sure to count upper and lowercase versions of a letter as the same letter. Output the letters in alphabetical order and list only those letters that do occur in the input line. For example, the input line:-I say HI should produce output similar to the following:-

3 words

1 a

1 h

2 i

1 s

1 y

Please Note!!!!!: in addition to the above, output the result to file named “result.txt”

You are the finance manager of a company and currently your company has $100 million in cash that will not be needed for a few more weeks. You are thinking about arbitrage opportunities using Euro and GBP in order to put the cash reserves into use and hopefully earn more money for your company. You have to make a decision about details of your arbitrage with regard to which currency to buy in which order. Check exchange rates, find current rates for USD, Euro, and GBP, and share the details of your arbitrage plan with your CEO. Is it poosible to find an arbitrage trade to generate some profits (assume you will have no trading costs)? If so, what should be the order of your transactions in order to make a profit from this arbitrage operations?

I received a response stating "need enough knowledge" and about "exchange rates". I am not sure what that means, please elaborate instead of 2-3 word responses.

Write functions for each of the following problems. Each problem should be solved by
writing a recursive function. Your final program should not have any loops in it.

(a) Write a function that uses recursion to raise a number to a power. The function should
take two arguments, the number to be raised to the power (floating point) and the
power (a non-negative int). (10
Points)
(b) Write a boolean function named isMember that takes two arguments: an array of type
char and a value. It should return true if the value is found in the array, or false if the
value is not found in the array. (10 Points)

(c) A palindrome is any word, phrase, or sentence that reads the same forwards or
backwards. Here are some palindromes:
Level
Civic
Pot top
A man a plan a canal Panama

note:your final programme must not have any loops, do it with recursion, the language must be c++, and kindly explain it in simple words in the form of comments before each part

Question d) Write the regular expression statement that will match a string that starts with the word "Warning" following by one space and then a number of any number of digits.

Question e) Write the regular expression statement that will match a string that ends with the phrase "End of Report.

Question f) Write the regular expression statement that will match a string that starts with the phrase "Begin Log:" then contains a collection of characters (other than newline) followed by the phrase "End Log".

Question g) Write the regular expression statement that will match the string "Mr.", "Ms." or "Mrs." followed by one or more spaces, followed by one uppercase character then one or more lowercase characters.

Question h) Write the regular expression statement that will match a 10 digit phone number of the format (555-555-5555 or 5555555555 or 555-5555555). We want the pattern to allow an optional dash after the first 3 numbers and after the next three numbers.

Hint use the ? operator.

There are a large number of tasks involved in information technology and programming, and many of these tasks can be automated using scripting technology. The ability to use scripting correctly will save significant time and leverage available resources in many ways. The first step toward better productivity is to understand how scripting languages work and how they can be used. For this assignment, you will begin to learn the characteristics of scripting languages and gain an understanding of how to select the right scripting tool for a specific task.

• Prepare a document to submit your results:
  • Use Word
  • Title Page
    • Course number and name
    • Project name
    • Your name
    • Date
  • Identify a scenario where scripting would be useful to automate a task.
  • Define at least 5 requirements of a scripting language that would be necessary for the task.
  • Identify 2 scripting language candidates that meet the requirements.
  • Select 1 of the scripting languages, and justify the selection based on how well it meets the stated requirements.
