You will write a program that reads a binary file that contains records of creatures. Each record can be stored in a Creature struct. You should present the user with a menu of three options: display a specific creature, display all the creatures sorted by name, or quit. If the user chooses to display a specific creature, you should ask the user which creature to display

getCreatureNumber gets and returns the record number from the file that the user would like to be displayed

PARAM: numCreatures should be the value of the total number of records (creatures) in the file

PRE: numCreatures contains a value that is equal to the number of records in the file

POST: A value between 1 and numCreatures is returned as selected by the user

NOTE: Do not allow a value less than 1 or greater than numCreatures to be returned

/

int getCreatureNumber(int numCreatures)

{

}

/

displayCreature displays record number num from file

PARAM: file is a fstream that should be open for input and binary

num contains the record number that is to be read in file

PRE: file is a fstream that is open for input and binary

num is a value between 1 and the number of records in file

POST: The record number num is displayed to the monitor

/

void displayCreature(fstream& file, int num)

{

}

/

displaySorted should read file into a vector. It should then sort the vector by

the name of the creature. Last it should display the vector

PARAM: file is a fstream that should be open for input and binary

PRE: file is open for input and binary

POST: Each record is displayed sorted by the name of the creature

/

void displaySorted(fstream& file)

{

}

answer is:

a). backstage view

explanation:

backstage view is the area where files and data about them is managed— creating, saving, printing, sending to others, inspecting for hidden metadata or personal information, and setting options. so in this way we can add many things to our document swiftly.

i hope you get the idea.
