In this project (and all c++ projects because this language loves to be annoying) we want to stick to standard libraries.
The reason for this is because c++ has one funny (and very frustrating) quirk in not having native package support.
(for example, in node.js we have npm and python has pip)
what this means is that a lot of the time, in order to use external libraries we need to copy the code into our folders, which is messy and annoying.
An exception to this is the win32 library.
if we want to simply read files, we can use cin from our handy iostream library that we discuss in the .
cout can be used in a similar fashion.
This is where it gets harder as this is much less common to do.
I found a library called filesystem that may be the answer to our problem.
See the StackOverflow answer that I found
A big part of this project will be researching how to do stuff, so I will leave this to other project members to figure out how to do this.
