2) PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Create an application that searches a file of male and female first names. A link to the file is provided on the class webpage. \"FirstNames2015.txt\" is a list of the most popular baby names in the United States and was provided by the Social Security Administration.

Each line in the file contains a boy\'s name and a girl\'s name. The file is space-delimited, meaning that the space character is used to separate the boy name from the girl name. The file begins with:

Noah Emma

Liam Olivia

Mason Sophia

Jacob Ava

William Isabella

Ethan Mia

James Abigail

Write a program that asks the user to enter a name. The program then searches the file for the name and displays the position of the name in the file if it matches either a boy name or a girl name. The program also displays a message if the name could not be found. Sample outputs:

Enter a name to search: Daniel

Daniel is ranked 12 for boy names

Daniel was not found for girls

Enter a name to search: Cassandra

Cassandra is ranked 511 for girl names

Cassandra was not found for boys

Enter a name to search: Taylor

Taylor is ranked 76 for girl names

Taylor is ranked 462 for boy names

NOTE: You can use any method you wish to match the name input on the keyboard with the names in the file. You can compare two strings ignoring upper/lower case by using #include<cstring> in C++ or #include<string.h> in C and the following comparison   if ( stricmp(string1,string2) == 0)

If your compiler does not have stricmp, you may need to use _stricmp   or strcasecmp.

3) DISCUSSION

a) What did you do to develop the program? (\"Followed the Directions\" is not a complete description

b) What problems did you have and how did you overcome the problems?

4) PROGRAM OUTPUT

Submit seven screen shots:

1) search result for your first name

2) search result for a name used for both boys and girls, such as Taylor, or Dylan

3) search result for a name used only for boys

4) search result for a name used only for girls

5) search result for a name that at the very top of the file

6) search result for a name that is at the very bottom of the file

7) search result for a name that is not in the file

5) PROGRAM LISTING

Copy and paste YOUR code.
