x.Hming problems with this program and here are my instructions and any feedback would be greatly appreciated...

Write a program that reads a text file and counts the characters in each line. The program should display the line number and the length of the shortest and longest lines in the file, as well as the average number of characters per line.





#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <cassert>
using namespace std;
bool characterCount(char);

int main ()
{
        //Describe the program to the user
        cout << "This program reads a text file and counts the characters in each line!" << endl;

        //INPUT SECTION
        //Input the file
        cout << "Enter the name of the input file: ";
        char inputFilename[80];
        int i;
        cin.getline(inputFilename, 80);

        //Open an input stream to the input file
        //Establish a connection
        ifstream fin;

        //Check for success
        fin.open(inputFilename);

        //Implementation of the input file
        //Declare variables
        int count = 0, sum = 0;
        char reading;

        //For statemen to calculate
        for(;;)
        {
                //Read a value from file
                fin >> reading;

                //If eof, quit
                if (fin.eof()) break;
                if (characterCount(reading))

                //Update the count
                count++;
        }

        //OUTPUT SECTION
        //output the file
        cout << "Enter the name of the output file: ";
        char outputFilename[80];
        cin >> outputFilename;

        //Open an output stream to the output file
        ofstream fout;
        fout.open(outputFilename);

        //Check for success
        asset(fout.is_open());

        //Write results to file

        //Close the stream
        fout.close());
        cout << "Processing complete!" << endl;

        //Return a value
        return 0;
}

        bool characterCount(char in)
        {
                bool value = false;
                switch (in)
                {
                        case 'a':
                        case 'A':
                        case 'b':
                        case 'B':
                        case 'c':
                        case 'C':
                        case 'd':
                        case 'D':
                        case 'e':
                        case 'E':
                        case 'f':
                        case 'F':
                        case 'g':
                        case 'G':
                        case 'h':
                        case 'H':
                        case 'i':
                        case 'I':
                        case 'j':
                        case 'J':
                    

Explanation / Answer

please rate -thanks this counts everything but spaces, and enters #include #include #include #include using namespace std; int characterCount(string); int main () {         //Describe the programto the user         cout
