Assignment 11 - Arrays, Sorting and Searching

due December 9th

The purpose of this assignment is to give you practice working with arrays, passing them to functions, sorting, searching and reading and writing text files.

In this program you will read two files and store their contents in arrays.  You will sort both arrays, and then search an array for each element of the second array.

Program Steps

• Open two input files and one output file.
  

• Read in these two files and store their contents in 2 arrays of strings.  Do not use a vector.
• Sort both arrays using a selection sort.
• Search the dictionary array for each keyword.  If the keyword is not present in the dictionary array, write a message to the output file that the keyword is not found in the dictionary (see sample output below).  Count the number of keywords not found.  You will print this number at the end of the program.
