* Writes the simulationParameters to the file named filename.

* For each of the simulation parameters whose names are found in Config.SIM_PARAMS
* Write out the name of the parameter, =, the parameter value and then newline.
* Close the file.

* Example contents of file:
* seed=233
* ocean_width=20
* ocean_height=10
* starting_fish=100
* starting_sharks=10
* fish_breed=3
* sharks_breed=10

* This loads the simulation parameters from the file named filename.
* The names of the parameters are in the Config.SIM_PARAMS array and the array returned from
* this method is a parallel array containing the parameter values. The name corresponds to
* the value with the same index.
* Algorithm:
* Try to open filename for reading. If the FileNotFoundException is thrown print the
* message printing out the filename without < > and return null;
*
* File not found: <filename>
*
* Read lines from the file as long as each line contains "=". As soon as a line does not
* contain "=" then stop reading from the file. The order of the lines in the
* file is not significant.
* In a line the part before "=" is the name and the part after is the value.
* The separate method you wrote in P7 is helpful here.
* Find the index of the name within Config.SIM_PARAMS (call indexForParam).
* If the index is found then convert the value into an int and store in the corresponding
* index in the array of int that will be returned from this method.
* If the index is not found then print out the message followed by the entire line
* without the < >.
*
* Unrecognized: <line>
*
* @param filename The name of the from which to read simulation parameters.
* @return The array of parameters.

* This writes the simulation parameters and the chart of the simulation to a file.
* If simulationParameters is null or history is null then print an error message
* and leave the method before any output.
* If filename cannot be written to then this method should throw an IOException. *
*
* Parameters are written first, 1 per line in the file. Use an = to separate the
* name from the value. Then write a blank line and then the Population Chart.
* Example file contents are:
* seed=111
* ocean_width=5
* ocean_height=2
* starting_fish=6
* starting_sharks=2
* fish_breed=3
* sharks_breed=3
* sharks_starve=3
*
* Population Chart
* Numbers of fish(.) and sharks(O) in units of 1.
* F 6,S 2 1)OO....
* F 4,S 2 2)OO..
* F 2,S 4 3)..OO
* F 1,S 4 4).OOO
* F 0,S 4 5)OOOO
*
* Looking at one line in detail
* F 6,S 2 1)OO....
* ^^^^^^ 6 fish (the larger of sharks or fish is in the background)
* ^^ 2 sharks
* ^^^^^ chronon 1
* ^^^^ the number of sharks
* ^^^^ the number of fish
*
* The unit size is determined by dividing the maximum possible number of a creature
* (oceanWidth * oceanHeight) by Config.POPULATION_CHART_WIDTH.
* Then iterate through the history printing out the number of fish and sharks.
* PrintWriter has a printf method that is helpful for formatting.
* printf("F%3d", 5)
* prints "F 5", a 5 right justified in a field of size 3.
*
* @param simulationParameters The array of simulation parameter values.
* @param history Each element in the ArrayList is an array with information about a specific
* chronon. The array has 3 elements: chronon, number of fish, and number of sharks,
* in that order.
* @param oceanWidth The width of the ocean.
* @param oceanHeight The height of the ocean.
* @param filename The name of the file to write the parameters and chart to.
