C++ Programming

You are to develop a program to read Baseball player statistics from an input file. Each player should bestored in a Player object. Therefore, you need to define the Player class. Each player will have a firstname, last name, a position (strings) and a batting average (floating point number). Your class needs to provide all the methods needed to read, write, initialize the object. Your data needs to be stored in an array of player objects. The maximum size of the array should be 50for this version of the program. Make sure that you 1) keep track of how many players have beenstored in the array and, 2) you do not overwrite the end of the array if there happens to be more than50 players in the data file. An input data file will be used to provide the data. Each player is written in the file, one per line, in thefollowing form FIRSTNAME LASTNAME POSITION BATTINGAVERAGE Note that the data is separated by blanks only. There are no commas or other separator characters inthe input data. You will need to create your own file for testing.

Summary of Operation Prompt the user for the input and output file names. DO NOT hardcode file names into yourprogram.
