Assignment

Question 1: [40 Marks (10 each part)]

Create a CLI (Command line Interface) based text edition using C++ with flowing
requirements

 Multiple File Operations: Allow the user to open, edit, and save multiple files in sequence
without restarting the editor.
 File Overwrite Warning: If a file is already opened, and the user attempts to save it under a
different name, prompt a warning about overwriting.
 Text Navigation: Enable cursor control to move the cursor around within the text area
(up/down/left/right).
 Undo/Redo: Implement a basic undo operation to revert the last change (storing previous
versions of text).

Submission Requirements:

1. Source Code: Provide the full C++ source code for the text editor.

2. Documentation: Document each feature with comments and provide a brief explanation
of the implemented functionalities.

3. Test Cases: Test the editor with different text files and ensure all features work
correctly (e.g., creating, saving, opening, undo/redo).

Soft copy of report should be uploaded on GCR

CODE:
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

// define history size for undo/redo

#define MAX_HISTORY 10

// Arrays to store undo/redo text states

string undoHistory[MAX_HISTORY];
string redoHistory[MAX_HISTORY];
int undoIndex = 0, redoIndex = 0;
