Rewrite it to use C library functions instead of C++.

You have to use fprintf, fwrite, fread instead of corresponding fstream methods and operators (see fstream - C++ Reference[^] ). Since the code contains C-like function for console I/O, probably there is no much use of insertion and extraction operators and your task is relatively simple.
