Write a program in C++ that creates a file and writes data into that file column wise. The problem is that there is some data that I want to keep there permantely and I do not want to replace it every time. For example this format: TIME            DAY          MONTH         YEAR 01:25            07             JUNE             2008 14:00            30             MARCH         2019  I have (TIME/ DAY/ MOTH/ YEAR) and I want to write that first and that any data that I add later is written under that and so on.  If I want to add the row (05:05/ 10/ July/ 2000) following the pattern. Write code that checks if the file has data and write that data under the lines you already have.

Question

Write a program in C++ that creates a file and writes data into that file column wise. The problem is that there is some data that I want to keep there permantely and I do not want to replace it every time. For example this format:

TIME            DAY          MONTH         YEAR

01:25            07             JUNE             2008

14:00            30             MARCH         2019 

I have (TIME/ DAY/ MOTH/ YEAR) and I want to write that first and that any data that I add later is written under that and so on. 

If I want to add the row (05:05/ 10/ July/ 2000) following the pattern. Write code that checks if the file has data and write that data under the lines you already have. 

Expert Solution
Step 1

The Algorithm of the code:-

1. Declare a string variable to store the name of the file to create and write to.
2. Create and open the file in append mode to add new data without deleting old data.
3. Check if the file is empty.
4. If the file is empty, write the headers for the columns.
5. Write the new row of data.
6. Close the file after writing.
