-opens the 2 files provided for input (Lab_HW9_2Merge1.txt and Lab_HW9_2Merge2.txt)

-calls a global function to determine how many lines are in each file

-creates 2 arrays of the proper size

-calls a global function to read the file and populate the array (call this function twice, once for each file/array)

-calls a global function to write out the 'merged' results of the 2 arrays

*if there are multiple entries for a person, these should be merged and should appear as a single entry in the resulting file

*resulting file should be named 'merged_output.txt'
