BYU ACM Tournament Tracker

Problem

  • You are the BYU ACM secretary
  • For the upcoming Team Coding Challenge you need a program to keep track of teams in the order that they finish the competition.
  • You program should be able to:
    • Add a team to an ordered list
    • Delete a team
    • Edit a team name
    • Get a team’s finish position
    • Display teams ordered by finish order
    • Display teams ordered A-Z
  • Assume valid input and team names without spaces

Solution

/*
A NOTE ON TEST CASES
Each option should have its own set of test cases to test each branch of the program
 
In addition, however, a set of test cases should *theoretically* be developed to also test any possible
sequence of options selected (or rather sequence of branches of options)
 
Because you can't feasibly test all possible sequences, be sure to test at least a handful of likely 
sequences. 
 
It becomes particularly important to test each option thoroughly in isolation so that 
you can be more confident that it works properly when executed in any arbitrary sequence
