At the level of complexity of this program, most students are puzzling
over how to declare variables and functions.  I can see the similarities,
but then again when I am that new in some technique I cut and paste as
well, and I am under some illusion that I am learning something.

I guess the similar styles of use of floating point numbers, of testing
the file function return values, and sequence of variable declarations do
strongly suggest copying.
