Program Steps
Read a file containing team names, their conferences and divisions. This data will be stored in an array of structs. Memory for each of the team names must be allocated dynamically.
Read a file containing scores. Each record in the file must be parsed to determine the winning and losing team. The number of wins, losses, ties and percentage must be calculated using the data in the scores file.
The array of structs must be sorted by conference, division, and percentage to produce output equivalent to that shown below.
Program Requirements
Use the input files, team name file and scores file.
Use this struct to store the data for each team:
struct NFL_Team
{
char* name;
char conference[9];
char division[6];
unsigned short wins;
unsigned short losses;
unsigned short ties;
float pct;
};
Use char arrays to store all character data for this assignment. The C++ string class may not be used in this assignment.
The program output must show the current standings using the team input data and the percentage calculations.
Program Output
Your output should look quite similar to the following. Note: the actual statistics will be different when you use the current scores file.

Program Notes
There are 32 NFL teams, 16 in each conference. The conferences are National and American. There are 4 divisions with 4 teams in each division. The divisions are NORTH, SOUTH, EAST and WEST.
To read the team file, you will have to specifically look for conference records and division records.
The scores file will also require specific parsing techniques. To skip over the date and week records, you can look for the text, "SUN", "MON", ... , or "Week". To parse a scores record, you can use strtok(), looking for a comma. It will be handy to write a function that can pick out a team name from a text String. The strstr() function might be useful here.
To calculate the team percentage, use the formula:
pct = (wins + 0.5 * ties) / total games played
To sort the data for the output standings, you might want to create a "sortkey" function, consisting of the conference, division, and percentage. Then you can sort using the "sortkey".
And finally, as usual, this assignment contains some subtle aspects.

Hello there. I am proficient in C++ and I am interested in offering you a professional solution to your project. If I understand correctly, the program is to be implemented in C++, but you cannot use STL containers (vector, list etc.), C++ strings and C++ built in sorting functions. The functionality of those must be created manually, as one would do in simple C. Thank you in advance.
