data in files and arrays


          You somehow forgot the surfer names


           With your rush to catch some waves before the light is gone, you forgot
           about the other piece of data stored in the results.txt file: the
           name of each surfer.
           Without the names, you can’t possibly know which score goes with which
           name, so the scoreboard is only half-complete.
           The trouble is, your array stores one data item in each element, not
           two. Looks like you still have your work cut out for you. There’ll be no
           catching waves until this issue is resolved.

        You forgot to                                                   and the scores for each
