Description
Most computers on the internet have a 32 bit Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) address. As reading these addresses would be difficult using binary or hexadecimal notation, IPv4 addresses are usually represented in dotted decimal notation.
For purposes of representation, the 32 bits composing the address may
be divided into four octets (bytes) written in decimal numbers, each
ranging from 0 to 255, and concatenated as a character string with a full
stop (ASCII 46) between each number.
Locally, computers are often known by an alias (nickname) as
well. You will design and write a program to process a list of Internet
addresses from file “CS222_Inet.txt. Your program should read a list of
up to 100 addresses and nicknames terminated by a sentinel address of
all zeros and the sentinel nickname, “none”.
Your program will generate a report listing all computers from the same
locality---that is, each computer with matching values in the first two
components of the address. In the list, the computers should be
identified by their alias. The report will be saved to file “222 Locality
Report”. The user will also generate a report listing all of the computers
sorted alphabetically by alias. This report will be saved to file “222 Alias
List”. As with HW3, both reports will contain the user’s name and
current date, along with the generated report listing.
