How we can code this

C#

The main method will:
Request the input file name.
Request the output file name.
Request the program "mode" (see below)
0 -- means the file(s) will be processed in character-by-character mode (see #2 below).
1 -- means the file(s) will be processed in line-by-line mode (see #3 below).
The character-by-character method will:
Open a simple text file.
Read the file and write it to output immediately, byte-by-byte, testing for the end of file marker.
Close the files.
Compute and display the wall-clock time (the "real-world" time) 
The line-by-line method will:
Open a simple text file (same file as 2 above) and an output file.
Read the file and write it to output immediately, line-by-line, testing for the end of file marker.
Close the files.
Compute and display the wall-clock time (the "real-world" time)
Run the program, use both modes. Compare the two results and explain the differences, if any. If none, explain why.

How is this any different that the same vague "not working" not-a-question you asked previously about the same thing?

Since you do not specify what is not working it is difficult to help. However, if you want to use the filenames that the user has provided as input you must start with removing the quotation marks around the variables names:

C#

inputStream = new FileReader(inputfile);
outputStream = new FileWriter(outputfile);

Then you of course must add code for the n=1 case.
