Answer to Question #52412 in C++ for ahmed saadouli

Question

Write a C++ program that produces a bar chart showing the yearly income
of a small company starting 1990. The program reads the income figures (rounded to
the nearest $1,000) from a file called “income.txt”. For each year it should display the
date and a bar consisting of one star („*‟) for each $1,000.
Here is an example of how the chart might begin:
1990 **
1991 ****
1992 ***
1993 *****
Your program must have 2 functions: one function to get the length of the bar for a
given year and the other function draws one line of the chart.
