Chapter 10 Programming Exercise #5 Largest Number

To be done in VISUAL BASIC CODE

Assume that a file containing a series of integers is named numbers.dat and exists on the computers disk. Design a program that determines the largest number stored in the file.

HINT: Use a technique similar to the one that was discussed in Chapter 8 for finding the largest value in an array. You do not need to read the file into an array to use this technique, however, it can be adapted for use with a file.

Requirements:

IPO Chart

Comments required throughout your program

Friendly message to the user of the purpose of your program displayed on the console output

Use eof loop

Use modified version of algorithm for finding the largest value in an array
