bool read$($Assessment& assess, FILE$*$ fptr$)$;

First, it will try to read a double value for the mark and a string for the title into a temporary local double variable and a $60-$character lone cString $(+1$ for null$).$

If the read is successful, it will then allocate a dynamic double and a dynamic cString to the exact size of the read cstring from the file into the fields of the assess structure $($assess$.$m$\_$mark and assess.m$\_$title$)$ and copies the values into them.

In this case, the function will return true, otherwise, it will return false with no memory allocation.
