int score (int a, int b) { HERE I NEED A FUNTION THAT CALCULATES SCORE: THE SCOR

Question

int score (int a, int b)
{
HERE I NEED A FUNTION THAT CALCULATES SCORE: THE SCORE SHOULD NOT ONLY SUM TO A TOTAL IF THEY GET IT RIGHT, BUT ALSO SUBTRACT THE PROPER AMOUNT IF THEY GET QUESTION WRONG.
}

int main()
{

string P1, P2;
cout << "Welcome to Jeopardy! Fool!" << endl;
cout << "Enter the name for Player 1: " << endl;
cin >> P1;
cout << "Enter the name for Player 2: " << endl;
cin >> P2;
system("cls");
cout << "Welcome " << P1 << " and " << P2 << "! Let's play Jeopardy!" << endl;
for(int i=0;i<800000000;i++);
system("cls");
do{
system("cls");

HERE I WANT TO DISPLAY A 6 x 5 Jeoppardy! Question Board, 5 x 5 for the question and the top row for the category names. I will make up my own "questions.txt" and "answers.txt". Main problems is displaying the board so that questions that are already answered don't come up on the board as the game progresses. Also, I need to figure our how to associate the respective scores, from 100-500 in each category so they relate to the proper questions; maybe I need a "scores.txt". I need arrays for these, or maybe matrices.

}while(0);
return 0;
}

please rate - thanks

message me if any problems--I used yours as an idea starting point
