The purpose of this assignment is to learn to Understand how to read and parse real-world data from text files. Visualize airports on a world map using BRIDGES API. Apply randomization techniques to select and manipulate dataset entries. CS concepts: Graph creation and manipulation, file handling, random number generation.
Graph Creation: You will create a graph where vertices represent airports. The graph will display 200 airports chosen randomly from a provided dataset.
Airport Data Parsing: You will read data from a file called airports.txt, which contains information about airports (including code, name, city, country, latitude, and longitude).
Random Airport Selection: The program will randomly select airports and add them to the graph. Each airport is represented by a vertex.
Vertex Customization: Each vertex will have a unique color, and its location will be mapped to the geographical coordinates of the airport.
Visualization: You will then visualize the graph, displaying the vertices on a world map passing a WorldMap object to the setMap function
