| read_byte () | -read_byte is a param name which refers to a function which reads the next byte- returning a whole number between 0-255. |

read_byte function.
- read_byte or write_byte function as inputs
- read_byte is a param name which refers to a function which reads the next byte- returning a whole number between 0-255.
function byte()
- left = left - 1
- return assert(file_handle:read(1):byte())
- --reads the next chracter, and converts it to a "numerical code" using string.byte()
- --it's important that this function moves forward in the file stream (as :read(1) does)
-end
-write_byte is similar to read_byte, however it is given an input and expected to write it to the file.
