COSC 143 7 Programming

Assignment 2 Programming Assignment 2

You will write a program that reads a binary file that contains records of creatures. Each record can be stored in a Creature struct. You should present the user with a menu of three options: display a specific creature, display all the creatures sorted by name, or quit. If the user chooses to display a specific creature, you should ask the user which creature to display.

You will be supplied with a starter file PA 2 _ Starter .cpp. You will need to complete some of the code in main a nd write the definitions for the three functions. For sorting, you should use the sort function found in the algorithm header file. You can read more about this function here:

Make sure you use good programming style.

Name your file PA 2 _lastName_firstName.cpp, replacing lastName with your actual last name and firstName with your actual first name. Submit only the cpp file.
