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 will only be called once for each test case.
[分析]
有同学说这题题意不明,深有同感,如果题目明确说明read4是从file中读4个字符到buf,而要求实现的read是通过调用read4从file中读取n个字符到buf并返回实际读取的字符数就比较清楚啦
