Question

Write a program that records high-score data for a fictitious game The program will ask the H| user to enter five names, and five scores It will HB store the data in memory, and print it back out |H sorted by score The output from your program should look exactly like this: Additional Requirements The data must be stored in two arrays: an array of stings named names, and an array of inks named scores. These arrays must be declared in the main function. All of the user input should be done m a function named mitiahzeArraysO- It should have the following signature: You must also write two more functions: one to son both arrays, and one to display the final list I of names and scores They should have the following signatures. The mam function should be very short. It should just declare the arrays and then invoke these three functions.

Explanation / Answer

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>

using namespace std;

// function prototypes
void initializeArrays(string names[], int scores[], int size);
void sortData(string names[], int scores[], int size);
void displayData(const string names[], const int scores[], int size);

int main()

{
    int size;
  
    string *names;
    names = new string[size];
//    string names[SIZE]; OLD CODE
  
    int *scores;
    scores = new int[size];
//    int scores[SIZE]; OLD CODE
  
    cout << "How many scores will you be entering?: ";
    cin >> size;
  
    initializeArrays(names, scores, size);
    sortData(names, scores, size);
    displayData(names, scores, size);
  
// Free dynamically allocated memory
  
    delete [] scores;
    delete [] names;
}

// This function takes user input and stores it in a names array and a scores array respectivly. The size integer limits the size of the names and scores array.

void initializeArrays(string names[], int scores[], int size)
{
    string tempName;
  
    for (int i = 0; i < size; i++){
        cout << "Enter the name for score #" << i + 1 << ": ";
        cin >> names[i];
        cout << "Enter " << names[i] << "'s score: ";
        cin >> scores[i];
    }
}

// This function take the names array, scores array and the size integer as input. It sorts both arrays based on a dual selection sort algorithm. The arrays are sorted in descending order and maintain syncronization. Output is the two sorted arrays.

void sortData(string names[], int scores[], int size)
{
    int startScan, maxIndex;
    string tempId;
    double maxValue;
  
    for (startScan = 0; startScan < (size - 1); startScan++){
        maxIndex = startScan;
        maxValue = scores[startScan];
        tempId = names[startScan];
        for (int index = startScan + 1; index < size; index++){
            if (scores[index] > maxValue){
                maxValue = scores[index];
                tempId = names[index];
                maxIndex = index;
            }
        }
        scores[maxIndex] = scores[startScan];
        names[maxIndex] = names[startScan];
        scores[startScan] = maxValue;
        names[startScan] = tempId;
    }
}

// This function takes the sorted names array, sorted scores array, and the size int as input. Using a simple for loop it displays the both arrays, in descending order, in an easy to read format.

void displayData(const string names[], const int scores[], int size)
{
    cout << "Top Scorers:" << endl;
  
    for (int i = 0; i < size; i++){
        cout << setw(8) << names[i] << ":" << setw(8) << scores[i] << endl;
    }
  
}

OUTPUT

How many scores will you be entering?: 4
Enter the name for score #1: Suzy
Enter Suzy's score: 9900
Enter the name for score #2: Kim
Enter Kim's score: 1000000
Enter the name for score #3: Armando
Enter Armando's score: 822
Enter the name for score #4: Tim
Enter Tim's score: 514
Top Scorers:
Kim: 1000000
Suzy:    9900
Armando:     822
Tim:     514
