Question

A competition takes place for the development of a new functionality that will be added on the NBA daily stats. This new functionality will show the player with the maximum ratio of points per minute. Develop a program in C++ that prompts the user to enter data for a number of NBA players and then outputs the player(s) with the maximum ratio of points per minute. Store the players entered by the user in a dynamic array of structs.

Sample:

How many players will you enter? 2

Enter first name: Stephen

Enter last name: Curry

Enter points: 30.5

Enter minutes: 37.8

Enter first name: Derrick

Enter last name: Rose

Enter points: 23.5

Enter minutes: 34.8

The maximum ratio of points per minute is: 0.81

Players with maximum ratio of points per minute: Stephen Curry

-You must store the data entered by the user in an array of structs.

-Data for each player include: first name, last name, points scored in a game (double), and minutes spent in game (double).

-The number of players for which the program needs to work is 10. You must declare a constant integer in the global space and use this throughout your program.

-You can assume that each of the data entered by the user will not contain any spaces.

-You don't have to check if user input is invalid. The program will be tested for valid inputs.

-The program must stop prompting for further input if the maximum number of players is reached.

-In the example above, the maximum ratio of points per minute is shown with two decimal points. You are free to choose if you want to output the results with a specific number of decimal points or not.

-Your program must have at least these three functions:

o Function to read the players' data into an array

o Function to find the maximum ratio of points per minute (points scored in a game divided by minutes spent in game)

o Function to print the names of the players with the maximum ratio

-The program must stop prompting for further input once the maximum number of players is reached.

-The program must free the allocated memory before termination.

-Prompt the user for the number of players they would like to enter.

-Dynamically allocate an array of structs of that size.

Please do rate the answer if it was helpful. Thank you

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;

struct player
{
string firstName;
string lastName;
double points;
double minutes;
};

void inputPlayers(player *players, int n);
double calculateMaxRatio(player *players, int n);
void printMaxPlayers(player *players, int n, double max);

int main()
{
player *players;
int n;

cout << "How many players will you enter? ";
cin >> n;

players = new player[n];
inputPlayers(players, n);

double max = calculateMaxRatio(players, n);

cout << fixed << setprecision(2); //display with 2 decimal places

printMaxPlayers(players, n, max);

delete []players;
return 0;
}

void inputPlayers(player *players, int n)
{
for(int i = 0; i < n; i++)
{
cout << "Enter first name: ";
cin >> players[i].firstName;

cout << "Enter last name: ";
cin >> players[i].lastName;

cout << "Enter points: ";
cin >> players[i].points;

cout << "Enter minutes: ";
cin >> players[i].minutes;

cout << endl;

}
}
double calculateMaxRatio(player *players, int n)
{
double max = 0;
double ratio;

for(int i = 0; i < n; i++)
{
ratio = players[i].points / players[i].minutes;
if(ratio > max)
max = ratio;
}
return max;
}

void printMaxPlayers(player *players, int n, double max)
{
cout << "The maximum ratio of pointers per minute is: " << max << endl;
cout << "Players with maximum ratio of points per minute:" << endl;

for(int i =0; i < n; i ++)
{
if(players[i].points / players[i].minutes == max)
cout << players[i].firstName << " " << players[i].lastName << endl;
}
}

output
-------
How many players will you enter? 2
Enter first name: Stephen
Enter last name: Curry
Enter points: 30.5
Enter minutes: 37.8

Enter first name: Derrick
Enter last name: Rose
Enter points: 23.5
Enter minutes: 34.8

The maximum ratio of pointers per minute is: 0.81
Players with maximum ratio of points per minute:
