Question

You’ve been hired by Super Spokes to write a C++ console application that analyzes the text of a speech. Download file GettysburgAddress.txt to project folder . Within your application, open file GettysburgAddress.txt and, for each line read, list the line number and the number of characters in the line. Use C++ function .length() to get the length of a string. Format the two outputs in two columns with the first column containing the line number and the second column containing the number of characters. After reading the file, list the total number of lines and characters read.

(GettysburgAddress.txt file):

*Each of these sentences are on seprate lines with a total of 10 lines*

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 battlefield 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 cannot dedicate—we cannot consecrate—we cannot 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.

Explanation / Answer

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>

using namespace std;

int main(){
ifstream inFile("GettysburgAddress.txt");
string line;
int line_no = 1, total_no_of_chars = 0;
while(getline(inFile, line)){
int no_of_chars = line.size();
cout << line_no << " " << no_of_chars << endl;
total_no_of_chars+=no_of_chars;
line_no++;
}
cout << "No. of Lines" << " " << "No. of Characters" << endl;
cout << (line_no-1) << " " << total_no_of_chars << endl;

}
