Summary  
Demonstrates file I/O by reading numeric data from two files, parsing and iterating through corresponding values to apply a user-selected arithmetic operation, then writing the results to a new file.

General domain of usage  
Batch file data processing

You can download the required folder for this task. The folder includes two files called `1.txt` and `2.txt`. 

After the user specifies an operation, the program should read the numbers from `1.txt` and `2.txt` and apply the operation on each corresponding number from the `1.txt` and `2.txt` files. The results should be stored in the corresponding lines of a new file called `result.txt`.

For example, if the user enters the operator `+`, the numbers in the first lines of `1.txt` and `2.txt` will be added (`925 + 789 = 1714`), and the result will be stored in the first line of a new file called `result.txt`. The same should happen for the remaining lines.
