+// Prerequisite :
+//    - exercise/106_files.zig, or
+//    - create a file {project_root}/output/zigling.txt
+//      with content `It's zigling time!`(18 bytes 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.
+//    - First, we open the {project_root}/output/ directory
+//    - Secondly, we open file `zigling.txt` in that directory
+//    - Then, we initialize 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
+//
+// Note: For simplicity, we read byte-by-byte without buffering.
+// In real applications, you'd typically use a buffer for better
+// performance. We'll learn about buffered I/O in a later exercise.
