Opening Files and Performing File Input

Summary

In this lab, you open a file and read input from that file in aprewritten C++ program. The program should read and print the namesof flowers and whether they are grown in shade or sun. The data isstored in the input file named flowers.dat.

Instructions

1. Ensure the source code file named Flowers.cppis open in the code editor.
2. Declare the variables you will need.
3. Write the C++ statements that will open the input fileflowers.dat for reading.
4. Write a while loop to read the input until EOF is reached.
5. In the body of the loop, print the name of each flower andwhere it can be grown (sun or shade).

// Flowers.cpp - This program reads names of flowers and whetherthey are grown in shade or sun from an input

// file and prints the information to the user's screen.
