rationale
This is your first assignment to practice and show that you're able to maintain/adapt a given application using existing tools, i.e., command-line and/or visual studio 2005 with new functions.

You'll practice the fundamentals of programming using imperative language abstraction mechanisms in C++ to compose and structure an application using multiple functions and headers.

problem
You'll maintain the given application in C++ to transcribe DNA sequences and count the frequency of transcription from T->U ind extract the maximum count valued sequence with location count values onto a named output file and minimum count valued sequence with location count values onto another named output file. 
      -> dna filenames : dna-filenames.txt

      [ input sequences -
        dna-00 :
        AAGTCTAGTACCC
        CAGAGTAGGACCT
        AAGAGTAGGACCG
        AAGACTAGGACCA
        CAGAAGTTGTCGT
        GCCTTGTGGACCC

        dna-01 :
        .
        .
        .
      ]


      [
        max counts :

        5 CAGAAGTTGTCGT 4

        .
        .
        .
      ]

      [
        min counts :

        3 AAGAGTAGGACCG 1

        .
        .
        .
      ]
  • For each set of given files: list the location, sequence and count count value.
  • Filename for the given datafiles read in, interactively, from command-line.
  • You'll do this repetitively until user decides as N, interactively, from the command-line.
  • You'll create two output files: one for max counts and one for min counts.
  • Structuring and composition multiple functions in C++ will be the essence of grading, as well as correctness.
  • You will use and reuse C++ collections.
