Parallel Array Example

Using Parallel Arrays

Student data consisting of a name, the semesters the student has been in school, and a score is stored in a file scores.dat. E.g.
    Smith 2 70
    Johnson 7 92
    Young 8 75
    Cohen 4 92
    Bird 5 83
Write a program to read this data into parallel arrays:
    const int MAX_STDNTS = 30; // Global const
    string names[MAX_STDNTS];
    int semesters[MAX_STDNTS];
    int scores[MAX_STDNTS];
    int num_stdnts;
and then
1. print the name/semester/score arrays:
    NAME  SEM  SCORE
    Smith   2  70
    Johnson 7  92
    Young   8  75
    Cohen   4  92
    Bird    5  83
2. print the student(s) with the highest score:
    High score 92
    Achieved by:
        Johnson (sem. 7)
        Cohen (sem. 4)
Functions:
get_data to read from the file into the parallel arrays
print_data to print the data in the arrays
highest to return the highest score
Print_achievers to print the students who recieve the highest score
