Item Counter

Assume that a file containing a series of names (as strings) is named names.dat

and exists on the computer’s disk. Design a program that displays the number of

names that are stored in the file. (Hint: Open the file and read every string stored

in it. Each time you read a string, increment a counter variable. When you’ve read

all the strings from the file, the counter variable will contain the number of names

stored in the file.)
