1.Write a program to do the following :

The program should input a set of records related to book titles from the screen-keyboard and store all input records into a sequential file. The format of the output sequential file should be: 

 Book-Number:	4 numeric characters.
 Book-Title : 	20 alphanumeric characters.
 Book-Author:	15 alphanumeric characters.
 Publisher:   	12 alphanumeric characters.
 Subject:	15 alphanumeric characters.
The program should read book-titles until the user indicates that he/she does not want to add any more records. You can use the following set of data to test your program : 
 BOOK#	    TITLE		 AUTHOR		PUBLISHER		SUBJECT
