Redirection in Linux

Input files to test project 2. Intended to be used via redirection.

My professor gave us a txt file to use to test if our program works. It reads in ~1000 numbers (so we wouldn't have to manually enter them). But I don't know the linux command on how to use this txt file.

ccarri7@ubuntu:~/C$ ls
ccarri7lab2  ccarri7lab2.c  lab2input.txt
ccarri7@ubuntu:~/C$

This is the folder where my executable/source/txt file are.
