Senga Jones,Senior,67,-2

Agnes Adam,Junior,88,0

Raquel Heeks,Adult,92,0

Meriel Harverson,Senior,47,-1

Data structure tasks

declare as parallel arrays

declare as record-type and an array of records

find max / min

procedure to display name and category of person with biggest penalty (min value): parallel arrays

function to return position of junior member with highest score : parallel array

function to return name of player in a category input by user with best final points (score + penalty) array of records

count occurrence

procedure to count the number of adults, juniors and seniors: parallel arrays

function to return number of members with no penalty points in a category entered by user : array of records

procedure to find a penalty value entered by the user, display all properties of the member, parallel arrays

function to return position of a member where name is entered by user : array of records must be an efficient search

save a copy

procedure to save a copy of only the Senior and Adult competitors with an event ID and the final points where

the event ID is the first letter of the category, the first 3 letter and last three letters of name

the final points is the score + penalty

example Senga Jones,Senior,67,-2 would be saved as S-Sen-nes,65
