Question

shortest - the shortest command will not have any options. Your program will find the shortest word in the input file. If there are more than 1 word with the same (shortest) length it will output the first 1 it finds.

(C++) (No arrays,lists allowed)

OUTPUT:

Command: shortest Shortest Word: Length: ## Word#: %%
Where is the first occurance of the shortest word, ## is how long that word is, and %% is the word's position with in the file.

**CODE START**

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    fstream file;
    string word, t, q, filename, ans;
    int word_position = 0, ans_word_pos = -1;

    //Name of the file to read
    filename = "testfile.txt";
    file.open(filename.c_str());

    //Reading file word by word
    while (file >> word)
    {
        word_position++;
        //If its the first word in file
        if(ans_word_pos == -1){
            ans = word;
            ans_word_pos = word_position;
        }
        //Updating the answer on condition
        else if(word.size() < ans.size()){
            ans = word;
            ans_word_pos = word_position;
        }
    }

    //Printing out the desired results
    cout<<"shortest Shortest Word: "<<ans<<"\n";
    cout<<"Length of shortest word: "<<ans.size()<<"\n";
    cout<<"Word position in file is: "<<ans_word_pos<<"\n";
}

**CODE END**

**OUTPUT**

It contains that text file and output file...
