the car's number, model, and the distance between the pick-up and drop-off locations measured in kilometers. The company charges $1.5 for every kilometer travelled. The program needs to perform two actions. Firstly, it should generate a text file named "TaxiCars.txt" and input the data provided. After that, the program should retrieve the input from this file and save the outcome in a file called "income.txt". The result must be rounded to three decimal places. The program should use manipulators to format the output for better readability.

A taxi company has requested your assistance in creating a
program to identify and display the car that generates the highest income. The company currently owns three cars, and the relevant data is stored in a file, including the car's number, model, and the distance between the pick-up and drop-off locations measured in kilometers. The company charges $1.5 for every kilometer travelled.The program needs to perform two actions. Firstly, it should generate a text file named "TaxiCars.txt" and input the data provided. After that, the program should retrieve the input from this file and save the outcome in a file called "income.txt". The result must be rounded to three decimal places. The program should use manipulators to format the output for better readability.
Assessment:
-
Using meaningful variable names.
-
Adding enough comments to understand the program.
-
Using indentation properly.
-
A function that accepts a parameter as a link to an output file. The function asks the user to
enter the data of three cars, as shown in the example.
-
A function that accepts parameters, a link to an input file and three parallel arrays. The function
reads data from the file and saves it in parallel arrays.
-
A function that accepts three parallel arrays and returns which car generated the highest
income.
-
A function that accepts the required parameters to print the results in an output file.
-
A main function that calls the other functions to satisfy the assignment requirements.
