Stuck on project

Question

I have an assignment in my c++ class which is: Write a program that declares a struct to store the data of a football player (player’s name, player’s position, number of touchdowns, number of catches, number of passing yards, number of receiving yards, and the number of rushing yards). Declare an array of 10 components to store the data of 10 football players. Your program must contain a function to input data from a file (You will need to create the input file) and functions to output data to the console. Add functions to search the array to find the index of a specific player, and update the data of a player. Before the program terminates, give the user the option to save data in a file (write a function for this). Your program should be menu driven, giving the user various choices. Your main function should mostly have variable declarations and function calls in it. Most operations should be handled by other functions.

I am stuck on getting my program to read the info on my input file. please help

Answer 1

your basic logic does not do as asked in the specs. First thing it should do is read the file, before asking for any input from a menu. You have tried to create a strange hybrid of reading the file and interactively adding a player (which is not part of the requirements)

So simplify and get it so that you read the whole file in a function called 'loadFile' and then print the whole thing out (like your option 2).

Get those things going first then add the menu to ask for modify, find and print
