Memoirs of a Technocrat

Develop a program using C++ to meet the following requirements.

1. Parse an input file, and produce an output list with the following information

• list all words consisting of alphabetic characters only
• the list should be alphabetically sorted
• next to each word, list the number of times it occurs in the input file
• next to each word, list the unique line numbers it occurs on

2. Tolerances

• The input file can be of any size
• The input file can be either binary or ascii
• A single line in a file can be of any length

3. Syntax

• The executable should be named _sorter.exe
• calling <your_first_name>_sorter.exe -h should display the following information, with each piece of data on a new line:
  • Your fullname, eg. "Name: Robert Smith"
  • Your contact email, eg. "Email: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it "
  • The date you completed the programming test, eg. "Test Date: 6th June 2008"
  • How long it took you to compelete the test, eg. "Time Taken: 03hrs 53mins"
• Calling <your_first_name>_sorter.exe -f should execute the program and produce results in accordance with requirements 1 and 2.

4. Sample input and output Input File -> Fox.txt

Data for Fox.txt

The quick brown fox
Jumps over the big blue fence
The blue fence should have been higher

Output (stdio)

been 1 3

big 1 2

blue 2 2, 3

brown 1 1

fence 2 2, 3

fox 1 1

have 1 3

higher 1 3

jumps 1 2

over 1 2

quick 1 1

should 1 3

the 3 1, 2, 3

5. Limits

• You may only using string processing, standard I/O, and math libraries in your solution. The use of STL or any other 3rd party library is not permitted.
• You may use a language reference, and algorithms reference book during the exam
• You cannot get assistance either directly (from another individual), or indirectly (through a web search, news group, etc) to implement the program
