C++Inventory Program
Write a program that uses a structure to store the following inventory data in a file:
Item Description
Quantity on Hand
Wholesale Cost
Retail Cost
Date Added to Inventory
The program should have a menu that allows the user to perform the following tasks:
• Add new records to the file.
• Display any record in the file.
• Change any record in the file.
Input Validation: The program should not accept quantities, or wholesale or retail costs, less than 0.The program should not accept dates that the programmer determines are unreasonable.
Files Class Activity
Write a program to write your first name (hard coded) to the screen and possibly to a file whose name is passed into the program from the command line. It can be written in upper or lower case or mixed case as the default.
Usage: writer [-f filename]
If the -f option is included with a filename, then create a file with that name or overwrite a previously existing file and write your name in on the first line.
If the -f option is not included, then only write your name to the screen followed by a newline.
Use a copy of the original getopt to parse the command line.
Be sure to test whether a file open succeeds or not and close any file you open when done.
Word List File Reader
This exercise assumes you have completed the Programming Exercise 7, Word List FileWriter. Write another program that reads the words from the file and displays the following data:• The number of words in the file.• The longest word in the file.• The average length of all of the words in the file

A person’s BMI is calculated with the following formula: BMI = weight × 703 / height2 where weight is measured in pounds and height is measured in inches. The file is in the format name weightInKG heightInCM You will read the name, weight and height for 4 people from the file, and you will need to convert the weights in the file to pounds (note that 1 kilogram = 2.2 pounds) and the heights to inches (2.54 cm = 1 inch). The program should display the person's name along with the calculated BMI and a message indicating whether the person has optimal weight, is underweight, or is overweight.
