HW-1

Program.

The program prompts the user for input, enter the file name you would like to read from.
The program then prints to output the file contents 1-to-1.

Building.

Make sure you have main.cpp and the makefile within the same directory and use
the command make or make build to compile main.cpp with g++.

Alternatively run the compile command if make doesn't work:

• g++ -g -std=c++20 -Wall main.cpp -o Homework1.exe

Execution.

Once compiled, you can use the program by running the executable alone like so:

• ./Homework1.exe
• make run
• make build run
• make build run < filename.ext

You may also supply a input file that contains the file name to read from:

• ./Homework1.exe < filename.ext
• make run < filename.ext

Within a input file it should look something like this:

• Line 1: filename.ext

Cleaning.

You can remove a past executable of the same name by running this command:

• make clean

Alternatively if make doesn't work:

• rm -f Homework1.exe on UNIX based systems
• del Homework1.exe    on Windows CMD
