C++ program that scores a cross country race based on CSV file input
- Clone the repository and navigate to the directory of the project.
- Run
sh setup.sh
Simply run ./xcscore file.csv where file.csv is the input file with the XC race data.
To test that that program works, you can use the sample data provided in the data folder. Try running ./xcscore data/sample.csv.
If you would like a more detailed output than just an ordered output of the teams, you can use the output option. Using the output option, the command will look like ./xcscore in_file.csv -o out_file.txt where out_file.txt is the desired output file name.
The input file must be in the following format
Lena Oxton,Some British School,3:34.10
Tekhartha Zenyatta,Omnic School,20:20.10
Lúcio Correia dos Santos,Some Brazilian School,12:11.21
John Oliver,Some British School,45:12.45
...
Pay close attention to the lack of spacing before and after commas as well as the leniency with the time formatting.
The number of digits representing the time run allows for entries like 15:30.115 or 1:10.1.
The entries in the file need not have any sort of ordering (i.e. you do not need to have runners on the same team together).
Also, any number of runners per team can be added. The scoring will only take into account the top 7. Any team with less than 5 runners will be disqualified and that team's runners will not have an impact on the scoring.
By default, the Makefile uses g++ as the compiler, if you are on a Mac or any system where clang++ is the only C++ compiler, just edit the Makefile and replace g++ with clang++
