	// Note that immediately after reading each field, we simply write them to the console.
	//  For the coursework you will want to change this, so that the values are stored
	//  in some form of temporary data-structure for further processing later on.

	// We should be checking for errors in the input file e.g. formatting at every point after a read.
	//  I.e. read line, check, read line, check...  or read field, check, read field, check.
	//  However, I have only checked for some of the input file reading errors at each point.
