// Prerequisite :
// - exercise/106_files.zig, or
// - create a file {project_root}/output/zigling.txt
// with content `It's zigling time!`(18 byte total)

// Now there's no point in writing to a file if we don't read from it, am I right?
// Let's write a program to read the content of the file that we just created.

// I am assuming that you've created the appropriate files for this to work.

// Alright, bud, lean in close. Here's the game plan.
2024-03-27 04:40:24 -04:00
// - First, we open the {project_root}/output/ directory
// - Secondly, we open file `zigling.txt` in that directory
2024-06-12 03:29:11 -04:00
// - Then, we initalize an array of characters with all letter 'A', and print it
// - After that, we read the content of the file into the array
// - Finally, we print out the content we just read
