Assignment

Your task is to create a function called readFile that reads a file called training.txt and returns the contents as a string.

Key Takeaways

• os.ReadFile reads an entire file into memory
• Converting between []byte and string is done with string(data)
• You can ignore errors with the blank identifier _
