Question

Given the data set, a specific year, and a sex, I need to report the most popular name for that year and sex.

So first off, the program will ask you to insert the year that the user is interested in, then ask the gender that the user is interested in, and print out the most popular names corresponding to the year and gender. FYI, the number on the right represents how many people share that name in that column, so the most popular name would be the one with the biggest number. Thank you!
