Write the program in c++ only
Create a menu driven application that uses information in files to keep track of your stock portfolio. The data is stored in the file "stocks.txt". An example file is as follows:
Amgen#200 50.75 75.625
Delta#100 111.75 97.25
Novell#500 10.375 12.25
PPG Inc#100 56.75 54.5
Timken#300 34.625 15.125
HP#100 100.50 115.25
Note that each line has the format : Company name#number_of_shares purchase_price current_price
Note that there must be a delimiter after the company name. In this case we are using the ‘#' character. Also notice that there are spaces between the numbers.
The program should begin by displaying a menu as shown in the sample output below. For option 1 (add stock): Prompt the user for the new data. You will have to create a file object, open the file with append flag (ios::app) to append the data to the file. Don't forget to close the file!
For option 2 (display profit/loss): Create a file object, open the file for input, read the file, calculate and display the profit or loss on each, and the total value. Note the formatting! Don't forget to close the file!
USE FUNCTIONS to organize your code! You should make a function for adding records, and another function for displaying the profit. Main should be simple. You do not need any file objects in main. Handle the files in the functions.
Testing - show the following output:
Use the file "stocks.txt" shown above
? Select option 2 - should produce the results shown below.
? Now select option 1 and add the following stocks:
