How would you solve this?

If you had a bunch of test score and you were write a code to add a specific persons total score, any suggestions of how to do that?

For example:

sam 150
mary 200

sam 350
mary 100

sam 450
mary 2300

sam 180
mary 500

sam 10
mary 20

sam 10
mary 400

sam 600
mary 600

#include <map>
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>

int main()
{
std::map<std::string, int> scores;
std::ifstream input("Somefile");
std::string name;
int score;
while(input >> name >> score)
    scores[name] += score;
for(auto v: scores)
    std::cout << "Total score of " << v.first << " is " << v.second << std::endl;
return 0;
}

Thanks for the reply. What if the scores were randomly generated, would you use the same format?

Yes, for example:

for(int tests = 0; tests < 100; ++tests) {
    scores["Mike"] += random(101);
    scores["Jane"] += random(101);
}
