Answer to Question #103153 in C++ for mustafaa

Question

Use file operations (fopen, fgets, fprintf, feof, fclose) to create a simple to-do list.

Users can add new items, print the list, and erase the entire list (but may not erase individual items)

To-do items are stored in a file, one per line.

Example I/O:


Welcome to the To-Do List.
1) Print the list
2) Add to the list
3) Erase the list
4) Exit

What would you like to do? 2
What would you like add? Buy Apples
What would you like to do? 1
Your list:
Buy Apples
What would you like to do? 3
What would you like to do? 1
Your list:
What would you like to do? 4
