/*
This solution uses a PhoneRecord structure with the name and number stored in
arrays with a fixed size. This allows the file operations to be very simple.
You can just read or write a PhoneRecord structure since its size is fixed.
If you wanted to allocate space for the name and number dynamically, then
you would have to explicitly write the name and number strings as well as the
PhoneRecord structure to the file. You would also need to include the length of each
data item in the file so you knew how much to read back.
