• saveToFile() const: Saves the list of items to list.txt.
• loadFromFile(): Loads the list of items from list.txt.

Item

This class represents a specific task in the to-do list.

Attributes

• std::string description: A description of the task.
• bool completed: A flag indicating whether the task is completed.

fstream

Used for reading from and writing to the list.txt file.

stdio

Used for file manipulation, specifically for removing the list.txt file.
