File Input / Output Procedures Structures

//Test if the file was created //Call to procedure
if(fs.i​s_​ope​n()​) if(fs) Proc​edu​reN​ame​(); Var declar​ation with structure type :

//Rea​ds/​Writes like cin and cout <st​ruc​tur​e_n​ame> var_name;

In the procedures we don't receive variables
file >> var; //Read
