 To accomplish this, you will use a function called `fopen`.  This function takes two string parameters, the first being the file name and the second being the mode.
 Mode is basically permissions, so `r` for read, `w` for write, `a` for append.  You can also combine them, so `rw` would mean you could read and write to the file.  There are more modes, but these are the most used.
