Assignment:

The Fork Spring Golf Club has a tournament every weekend. The club president has asked you to write a program that will read each player's name and score from standard input. The program should contain a main() function which prompts the user for an output filename and how many players they want to add. This program will then call the function scores(outFile, N) where outFile is the file object variable and N is the number of records to be written. The scores function should prompt the user for each name and score individually and write them to the file. Finally, the main() function is responsible for closing the file after the scores function.
