What is a README file?

ok for my homework i am suppose to do a program wit the input file, README file and output file... but i don't kno wat is a README file... if you want to know the programming language is C++ and the compiler is Microsoft Visual C++

What is a README file?
The teacher who asked you to do this home work needs clear instructions on how your program needs to be executed. These instructions u need to write on the Readme file. Thats what the teacher meant . You can add all the detals regarding the program in a ReadMe file.


eg. Author, Pre requisties, how to provide input and output , how to run the application etc.
Reply:A read me file usually provides answers and instructions for common questions.





Is that what you are asking?
Reply:A README file is just a text file explaining what the program is about, who wrote it, how to install it, how to use it, etc. It is generally placed in the top-level directory of the application.
