'''Objective:'''
* You will be creating a program that prompts the user to enter a bunch of names, which will be written to a file.
* You will also create another program that reads the contents of a particular file, and allows the user to search for a particular name.

'''File Output Program:'''
# Using a loop, you will continuously prompt the user to enter a name
## After the user inputs the name, you will append it to a list of names
## If the user ever inputs nothing, then you will break out of the loop or end the loop
# You should prompt the user to enter a filename to be used
# Create a new file to write out to, using the filename provided by the user
# Your program should traverse the list of names and write out to file, every name in the file
# Close your file

'''File Input Program:'''
* Prompt the user to enter a filename
* Open the file for reading
* Read all of the contents of the file into a list
* Prompt the user to enter a name that they wish to search for
* Use a loop to traverse the list of names, and check if the name is found in the list
* You should output to the user whether or not the name is found in the list
