Program 1. A fully implemented program in rolldice.cpp simulates several rolls of a pair of 6-sided dice and records them in a datafile. Your task is to use skills from CSCI 10 to implement histogram.cpp to read values from a datafile and produce a text-based histogram of these values in a second file. For the first program, the user provides arguments specifying the number of rolls to simulate, the file that will store the data, and (optionally) a seed for the random number generator responsible for the simulation. For the second program, the user provides arguments specifying the number of rolls, the datafile, and the file where the histogram should be written; the code for parsing these arguments is already written for you. Then you can compile and run the two programs as follows to produce files that look like the ones below. (Omit the seed 2 to get different values each time, and increase the 15 to 200 for a better visualization of the distribution.) For full credit, format your histogram file exactly like the sample run, including spacing. 6 Connonsunnon on $ g++ rolldice.cpp -std=c++11 -o roll $ g++ histogram.cpp -std=c++11 -o hist $ ./roll 15 data.txt 2 $ ./hist 15 data.txt hist.txt 2: 3: * 4: 5: *** 6: Holok 7: *ock 8:* 9:* 10: * 11: * 12: 8 7 7 data.txt hist.txt Problem solving notes: You may find it useful to declare, implement, and use a helper function with signature void writeLineOfStars (int rolls[], int nRolls, int val, ostream& out); The precondition for such a function would be that the rolls array contains nRolls ints between 2 and 12 (data already read from the data file), and out is an output stream corresponding to the opened histogram file, which already contains a line of stars for each previous value. The postcondition would be that the line corresponding to the val row has been appended to the output stream. Recall that you can open and write to a file by declaring an ofstream, which, in addition to accepting content insertion using the
