If you have downloaded this book’s source code (the companion Web site is available at www.pearsonhighered.com/gaddis), you will find a file named WorldSeriesWinners.txt. Also is file is attached to the dropbox as well as in the downloads for this chapter. This file contains a chronological list of the winning teams in the World Series from 1903 through 2009. (The first line in the file is the name of the team that won in 1902, and the last line is the name of the team that won in 2009. Note that the World Series was not played in 1904 or 1994, so those years are skipped in the file.)
Write a program that lets the user enter the name of a team, and then displays the number of times that team has won the World Series in the time period from 1903 through 2009. You should list the years cronoligically.
Possible Look to Program
GirlNames.txt This file contains a list of the 200 most popular names given to girls born in the United States from the year 2000 through 2009.
BoyNames.txt This file contains a list of the 200 most popular names given to boys born in the United States from the year 2000 through 2009.
Write a program that reads the contents of the two files into two separate lists. The user should be able to enter a boy’s name, a girl’s name, or both, and the application will display messages indicating whether the names were among the most popular.

HurdleWords is constructed from two files in the data/ folder: ● valid_guesses.txt (all 5 letter guesses considered to be valid words to guess), and ● valid_hurdles.txt (all words that may be selected to be the secret Hurdle.) ● Note: you may edit both text files if you’d like to add custom words to your game. HurdleWords stores all potential valid Hurdles from valid_hurdles.txt into a vector of strings (valid_hurdles_), and all valid guesses from valid_guesses.txt into an unordered set of strings (valid_guesses_). A set is simply a data structure that contains no duplicates and allows for a speedy lookup to check if a given element exists within the set. Because there are over 10,000 valid guesses, we store them in an unordered set to leverage their speediness, as you will need to check if a user-submitted guess is considered valid (i.e. their guess is considered a valid guess in the dictionary).
