//
// 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 no point in writing to a file if we don't read from it am I right?
// let's wrote a program to read the content of the file that we just created.
//
// I am assuming you've created the appropriate files for this to work.
//
// Alright, bud, lean in close here's the game plan.
// - First, we open the {project_root}/output/ directory
// - Secondly, we open file `zigling.txt` in that directory
// - then, we initalize an array of character with all letter 'A', and print it
// - Afte that, we read the content of the file to the array
// - Finally, we print out the read content
const std = @import("std");
pub fn main() !void {
// Get the current working directory
const cwd = std.fs.cwd();
// try to open ./output assuming you did your 106_files exercise
var output_dir = try cwd.openDir("output", .{});
defer output_dir.close();
// try to open the file
const file = try output_dir.openFile("zigling.txt", .{});
defer file.close();
// initalize an array of u8 with all letter 'A'.
// we need to pick a size of the array, 64 seems like a good number.
// fix the initalization below
var content = ['A']*64;
// this should print out : `AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA`
std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{content});
// okay, seem like threat of violence is not the answer in this case
// can you go here to find a way to read the content ?
// https://ziglang.org/documentation/master/std/#std.fs.File
// hint: you might find two answer that are both vaild in this case
const byte_read = zig_read_the_file_or_i_will_fight_you(&content);
// Woah, too screamy, I know you're excited for zigling time but tone it down a bit
// Can you print only what we read from the file ?
