I have a file with
the top 1000 baby names. I want to ask
the user for a name...search
the file...
and tell
the user
what rank that name
is for boy names
and what rank for girl names. If it isn't
in boy names or girl names, it tells
the user it's not among
the popular names for that gender.
The file
is laid out like this:
Rank Boy-Names Girl-Names
1 Jacob Emily
2 Michael Emma
.
.
.
Desired output for input Michael would be:
Michael
is 2nd most popular among boy names.
If Michael
is not
in girl names it should say:
Michael
is not among
the most popular girl names
Though if it was, it would say:
Micheal
is (rank) among girl names
The code I have so far
is below.. I can't seem to figure it out. Thanks for any help.
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <cctype>
using namespace std;
void find_name(string name);
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
string name;
cout << "Please enter a baby name to search for:\n";
cin >> name;
/*while(!(cin>>name))
{
cout << "Please enter a baby name to search for:\n";
cin >> name;
}*/
find_name(name);
cin.get();
cin.get();
return 0;
}
void find_name(string name)
{
ifstream input;
int line = 0;
string line1 = " ";
int rank;
string boy_name = "";
string girl_name = "";
input.open("/<path>/babynames2004.rtf");
if (!input)
{
cout << "Unable to open file\n";
exit(1);
}
while(input.good())
{
while(getline(input,line1))
{
input >> rank >> boy_name >> girl_name;
if (boy_name == name)
{
cout << name << "
is ranked " << rank << " among boy names\n";
}
else
{
cout << name << "
is not among
the popular boy names\n";
}
if (girl_name == name)
{
cout << name << "
is ranked " << rank << " among girl names\n";
}
else
{
cout << name << "
is not among
the popular girl names\n";
}
}
}
input.close();
}
