Due Date

See the calendar for due date.

Assignment:

The Fork Spring Golf Club has a completed their tournaments and now the club president asked you to write another program. This program will read the previously written scores from a file and then determine the winning player and score (lowest score wins). The program should contain a main() function which prompts the user for the input file name. This program will then call the function scored(inFile) where inFile is the file object. The scored() function should then read through the player data to find the winner and their score. This data should then be printed to standard output. The function should return the average score to main() which will be printed to standard output. The main() function should close the input file.
