Specification:
1. Please create a project folder (using any programming language) with the following name:
COSC489_PT_2168_<your username
and please make sure to replace <your username portion with your real FSU username.
2. In the above project you can implement in any programming language to realize the following functions.
3. Your program will access an input file with the name “COSC489_PT_2168_Input.txt”, which is located right outside of the above project folder (i.e. your project folder and this input file are sitting in the same folder). Please make sure in your program don’t use absolute path but a relative path to access the input file. A sample of this input file is provided together with this specification.
4. Your program will process the above input file and operate as it specifies.
5. Initialize a number ring: read in the initial list of number and create the initial number ring with the first number to be the current number on the ring (the red number is the current number). Given the initial list of numbers of 2 3 5 6 1 4 8 5 we can get.
