For this program, the main criteria was to develop a program that will store name, and
their scores of the golf players in some data structure in python language. The program is
started by declaring a list all_players[] as a global that contains zero elements. Then the
project is prints a welcome statement to the user. After this the user will be asked to select the
operation they want to proceed with. There are four options which are enter player details,
display the player details, search player and finally exit from the program. The menu driven
program is presented to the user using a while loop that keeps asking for user options until
users chooses the exit options. The data is stored using lists, list acts as container available in
python inbuilt data structure that is helpful in storing different types of data at the same time.
Compared to the Set data structure, list data structure in Python is considered as ordered and
have a definite size.
There are functions declared in the program that asks details of the players and their
scores. At first the number of players whose details will be saved through the program is
asked and user will enter the number of the players as integer. The score of player is taken as
input (in the form of integer) when the user enters the values of the name and score to the list.
Following is the algorithm for the implemented project;
Step1: Prompt option for the user
Step 2: if Option =1
Step 3: Enter the number of players
Step 4: Enter the name and score of the players.
Step 5: Go to menu prompt
Step 6: if option =2
Step 7: Search for a Player
