# This program reads in a file and prints out the words that make up the first 
# n characters (not counting spaces)
# If the nth character falls in the middle of a word, we print out the whole word.
# i.e. it is ok to go slightly over n characters
# If the file is shorter than n characters, we will print out the whole file.

filename = "tiger.txt"  # we'll use the Tiger poem. Move it into this directory
# open the file and read in all the words here
# Remember to close the file when you're done!

# Now we will generate a long string that contains at least n characters (not counting spaces)
numCharsNeeded = 50  # This is the number of characters that we need.

# We will use the programming pattern that we learned in class.
longString = ""
numCharsSoFar = 0    # This is the initial value

# Now we will loop through the list of words in the file. 
# When will we need to add words to longString?



# Print out the words and the length of the final string (not including spaces) when done.
