Aim: Well, What I am trying to do is to store the names in an array and scores scored in another array. Then Write them into the file. When the program is ran again, I will like to read the stored names and scores, add the new name and score, sort them by highest score and write them into the file.
Background: THe program is a simple guessing game, you enter your name and you score points after guessing. the points are to be stored corresponding to your name in the file.
They are then to be stored and displayed sorted when ever some one runs the game.
Problem: I am using the below code but when I am sorting the names and scores the name string is populated in a manner which I am not understanding...
If you run the program, it will work as intended but when you will run it second time, the sorting block of code is acting in a manner which I don't want!
a break point before the sorting block and watching the name and hscores array will clarify what I am saying..
I am a newbie programmer and also new to the forums, pardon my mistakes if I make and guide me...
Thanks....
