Description:
Tommy found a box of baseball cards in the attic. He decided he would keep the most valuable one of each unique card, and sell all the duplicates. He went through the whole box and catalogued each card, listing the player's name, team, year, condition of the card, and the value of the card.
You will write a program which will read the data, and decide which cards to keep, and which to sell.
First design a class to represent a baseball card. A baseball card has 5 pieces of instance data:
Decide what methods the BaseballCard class should have, and write them. You may find you need to add a method later.
Next write a program which reads baseball cards from a file. There will be one card per line, and each line will have 5 pieces of data, separated by commas. A line from the file looks like this:
Robin Yount,Brewers,1988,Excellent,1.50
Keep two arrays in your program, one for the cards to keep, and one for the cards to sell. When you read a new card from the file, you'll have to check to see if you already have one in the keeper array. If so, keep the most valuable one, and put the other one in the to sell array. If it is not already in the keeper array, put it in.
Once you've read all cards in, and put in one array or the other, print out each card in the keeper array, and show the total value of all kept cards. Then print out all the cards in the to sell array, and show the total value of the cards to sell.
Here is output for the cards in the file in.dat:
