The API: int read4(char *buf) reads 4 characters at a time from a file.
The return value is the actual number of characters read. For example, it returns 3 if there is only 3 characters left in the file.
By using the read4 API, implement the function int read(char *buf, int n) that reads n characters from the file.
Note:
The read function may be called multiple times.
一刷
题解:与157不同的是,函数可以被多次调用,比如read(buf, 1), 但是我们访问read4,如果函数没有结束,一定读得了4个char,但是只返回一个。
buffPtr: buffer pointer
buffCnt: buffer counter, 保存一次调用read4读到的字符数目
直到buffPtr reach buffCnt的时候,置为0,准备调用下一次read4
