Read Function

The next function we need to create is read. Go back and review the lab instructions to understand what this function is expected to do.

The lab states that each line in the input file will follow this format:

<Customer Name>,<Order Description>,<Price>,<Daily Special Status>[newline]

This means each field is separated by a comma, and each order ends with a newline character.

Prototype

Inside your FoodOrder.h file, add the following prototype inside the public section:

void read(std::istream &is);

Source

Now open your FoodOrder.cpp file and begin writing the function implementation. At the top of the file, make sure you have:

using namespace std;

This allows you to use istream and other standard objects without prefixing them with std::.
