Thread: Can some one change this code for me to match the HW assignment?

I just realized that the directions were a bit more specific than I remembered from class.

Here's the question:

1) Write a function findFreq that takes a character array (c-string) and returns the frequency of each
alphabetic letter. It should have a function heading similar to,
void findFreq(char text[], char letter[], int frequency[])
The character array letter is for 26 uppercase letters and int array frequency is to store the
frequency of letters.
2) Write a function printFreq that outputs a list of all the letters that occur in the text and the number
of times each letter occurs. The letters should be listed in alphabetic order. The function printFreq
should have a function heading similar to,
void printFreq(char letter[], int frequency[])
3) Write a function setText that takes a character array and make the following substitutions to the
letters:
Change letter ‘A’ -> letter ‘J’,
letter ‘I’ -> letter ‘Q’,
letter ‘S’ -> letter ‘Z’.
You can call function findFreq and printFreq when testing function setText.
4) The input file hw.txt is provided to you. Your function main should read a C-string from
the input file and perform several function calls to above user-defined functions.




Here's what I've been working with:
I thought the assignment was to JUST make the program output the letter frequency in the text file.

Code:

#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;


int main()
{
   int freq[128];   
   ifstream inFile;  
   char ch; 


   inFile.open("C:\\Users\\me\\Desktop\\hw.txt");


   for (int k = 0; k < 128; k++)
   {
      freq[k] = 0;
   }


   ch = inFile.get();
   while (ch != EOF)
   {
      cout << ch;
      ch = toupper(ch);
      freq[ch]++;
      ch = inFile.get();
   }
 cout << endl << "Letter:        Frequency:" << endl;
  for (char ch = 'A'; ch <= 'Z'; ch++)
  {
      cout << ch << " :            " << freq[ch] << endl;
  }
    system("pause");
  return 0;


}

I'm not a very good programmer, if someone is up for a challenge, and is in a very generous, helpful mood, I appreciate

It isn't about being helpful. Anybody that writes the code for you would break the forum rules regarding homework.

The way this forum works is that you post your code inside code tags, which you have done, and then you ask specific questions. That way board members will help you with nudges until you have a complete solution.

Read this FAQ and work on creating the function prototypes.

Ask questions on the part you are having issues doing.
1. creating the function prototypes
2. writing the functions
3. calling the functions
