using namespace std;

int main()
{
   // Declaring variables

   string name, color, food;
   ofstream outFile;

   // Open files (input first then output)

   outFile.open ("Perez_favorites.txt", ios::app);

   // prompt user for name, favorite color, and food

   cout << "Please enter your name, favorite color, and favorite food:";
   cin >> name >> color >> food;

   // exports user's name, color, and food to the file
