CS – 234 Individual Programming Assignment: #3(c) Due: 12/8/24

You will need to use files, arrays, and classes stock, customer, and broker from assignment 3(b).

Modify the broker class to read input files called stock.dat and customer.dat

The first line in stock.dat has an integer that indicates how many stocks are described in the file.

Subsequently, each stock is described as follows, one stock description per line.

Stock label (String) initial volume (int) price (double)

Modify Broker class to create stock objects from the descriptions read from the stock.dat file.

The first line in customer.dat has an integer that indicates how many customers are described in the file.

Subsequently, each customer is described as follows, one customer at a time

Customer Name Account Balance

Modify Broker class to create customer objects (in Broker) from the descriptions read from the customer.dat file.

Note that all customers start with empty portfolio (0 for all possible stocks they can buy/sell). Since the names of the stocks are only known in the broker – you can create an empty portfolio (array of stocks) in the broker and set it for each of the customers.
