+// Name: msglm
+// Date: August 25th 2022
+// Program Name: Files, Functions and Arrays
+// Description: Create a program that reads in an unknown number of ATU class names (such as Programming 2) from an input file (see explanation of unknown number below). Then, output those class names to both the screen and an output file - output once in the order in which the data was read in from the file and again in reverse order.

+#include <iostream>
+#include <fstream>
+#include <string>
+using namespace std;
+
+// Named constants
+const int ARR_SIZE = 50; //Personally, i'd pass this as an env var or a flag
+
+
+//Global Variable declaration
+//
+//Usually this is bad practice, but the function requirement for this has forced me to partake in this
+//I could have done some mess with passing by reference, but every function was assumed to share the same data
+//(I wrote it all in main first and then fragmented it), so this is the best way I could find to reach requirement
+//
+//Something like this should never reach production ever.
+
+string tmpArr[ARR_SIZE]; //Probably could pass through the file first to get the size first and declare this, but that's past this program's scope.
+int epoch {}; //both counts up and is the length of the array.  
+
+//Vars necessary to invert an array
+int start {};
+string tmp;
+int arrEnd {}; //Conflicts with namespace, hence the name
+
+//It's a shame this isn't STDIN and STDOUT
+ifstream inFile;
+ofstream outFile;
+
+
+//Functions are pretty unncessary for this code and overcomplicate more than they help
+//The original code for this before I split it into 5 functions was a cute little 40 SLOC thing.
