Question

Write a program that allows the user to input a name. The program should then read from the file and search for a matching name among the girls and boys. If a match is found, it should output the rank of the name. The program should also indicate if there is no match.

For example, if the user enters the name "justice", then the program should output:
Justice is ranked 406 in popularity among boys.
Justice is ranked 497 in popularity among girls.

If the user enters the name "Walter", then the program should output:

Walter is ranked 366 in popularity among boys.

Walter is not ranked among the top 1000 girl names.
