Project: Baby name popularity ranking
CSCI 2410 Data Structures and Algorithms
Armstrong Atlantic State University
Problem Description:
Assume the data files are stored for baby name rankings for year 2001, 2002, …, 2010 at
www.cs.armstrong.edu/liang/data/babynamesranking2001.txt, …, and
www.cs.armstrong.edu/liang/data/babynamesranking2010.txt. Write a program that
enables the user to select a year, gender, and enter a name to display the ranking of the name for
the selected year and gender, as shown in the following figure. To achieve the best efficiency,
create two arrays for boy’s names and girl’s names, respectively. Each array has 10 elements for
10 years. Each element is a map that stores a name and its ranking in a pair with the name as the
key.

The user selects a year, gender, and enters a year and clicks the Find Ranking button to display the ranking
in a dialog box.
