cat

Instructions

Write a program that has the same behaviour as the system's cat command-line.

  • The options do not have to be handled.

  • If the program is called without arguments it should take the input and print it back (as shown with the "Hello" example below).

  • In the program folder create two files named quest8.txt and quest8T.txt.

  • Copy to the quest8.txt file the following sentence :

"Programming is a skill best acquired by pratice and example rather than from books" by Alan Turing

  • Copy to the quest8T.txt file the following sentence :

"Alan Mathison Turing was an English mathematician, computer scientist, logician, cryptanalyst. Turing was highly influential in the development of theoretical computer science, providing a formalisation of the concepts of algorithm and computation with the Turing machine, which can be considered a model of a general-purpose computer. Turing is widely considered to be the father of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence."

  • In case of error the program should print the error.

  • The program must be submitted inside a folder named cat.
