// ----------------------- File Input and Output Example ----------------------

// Here we can see an example of both reading and writing 
// to a file. 

// Note that ofstream (output file stream) is used for 
// sending data from our program to the file. It is 
// handled almost identically to ifstream.

// First we need to make an input file "input_file_name.txt"
// and put your first and last name followed by your Jedi 
// level. Example: Jason Constanzo 32.5 

// include our file stream library
#include <fstream>

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
	string firstName;
	string lastName;
	double jediLevel;

	// declare an input file stream variable and open the file
	ifstream fin;
	fin.open("input_file_name.txt");

	// declare an output file stream variable and open the file.
	// *note - An output file will be created for you if 
	// one does not already exist with the name given.
	ofstream fout;
	fout.open("output_file_name.txt");

	// read data from the file
	fin >> firstName >> lastName >> jediLevel;

	// Here we output variables 'firstName','lastName', 'jediLevel' 
	// and a string literal to the output file. 
	// Notice that I use "fout" exactly the same as "cout".
	fout << firstName << " " << lastName << endl;
	fout << jediLevel << endl;
	fout << "You can also output literals to a text file " << 1337 << endl;

	// let the user know his data has been written to the file
	// by printing a message to the console (screen).
	cout << "Data has been written to 'output_file_name.txt'" 
	     << endl;
	
	// close files (dont forget about this!)
	fin.close();
	fout.close();

	return 0;
