COSC $2425-$ Programming Project $4$

Write a MASM assembly language program that reads move review information from a text file and reports the overall scores for each movie as well

as identifying the movie with the highest total score. There are four movie reviewers numbered from $1$ to $4.$ They are submitting reviews for

five movies, identified by the letters from $"A"$ through $"E".$ Reviews are reported by using the letter identifying the movie, the review rating,

which is a number from $0$ to $100,$ and the reviewer's identifying number. For example, to report that movie B was rated a score of $87$ by

reviewer $3,$ there will be a line in the text file that looks like this:

$B,87,3$

The fields within each record are separated from each other by a comma.

Your program must store the movie review scores in a two$-$dimensional array $(4$ rows by $5$ columns$).$ Each row represents a reviewer. Each

column represents a movie. Initialize the array to zeroes and read the movie review information from a file. After reading and processing the

whole file, display a report that shows the total score for each movie and the movie that had the highest total score.

Section $9\mathrm{.}4$ of our textbook discusses two$-$dimensional arrays. Section $9\mathrm{.}4\mathrm{.}2$ discusses Base$-$Index Operands and even contains an example of

how to calculate a row sum for a two$-$dimensional array.

Chapter $11$ contains an example program named ReadFile. asm that will show you how to prompt the user for a file name, open a file, read

its contents, and close the file when you are done. Look in section $11\mathrm{.}1\mathrm{.}8,$ Testing the File I$/$O Procedures.

Each record in a text file is terminated by the two characters, Carriage Return $($ODh$)$ and Line Feed $($OAh$).$

Assume that you wish to process a text file named "reviews.txt$"$ that is stored on the $"$C:$"$ drive in the "Data" folder. If you are using a

Windows computer, you have two ways to identify the path to the file's location:

C:$/$Data$/$reviews$.$txt OR C:$\backslash$Data $\frac{\frac{?}{?}}{\frac{?}{?}}\frac{?}{?}$ reviews.txt

Double backslash characters are needed because a single backslash is defined as being the first part of an escape sequence such as

newline $(\frac{?}{?}$D$,84,2$
