“For several years empirical studies have spanned the spectrum of research from software productivity, quality, reliability, performance to human computer interaction. Analyses have involved software systems ranging from desktop software to telecommunication switching systems. But surprising there has been little work done on the emerging digital game industry, one of the fastest growing domains today. To the best of our knowledge, our work is one of the first empirical analysis of a large commercially successful game system”. “In this paper, we introduce an analysis of the significant user data generated in the gaming industry by using a successful game: Project Gotham Racing 4. More specifically, due to the increasing ubiquity of constantly connected high-speed internet connections for game consoles, developers are able to collect extensive amounts of data about their games following release. The challenge now is to make sense of that data, and from it be able to make recommendations to developers. This paper presents an empirical case study analyzing the data collected from a released game over a three year period. The results of this analysis include a better understanding of the differences between long-term and short-term players, and the extent to which various options in the game are utilized. This led to recommendations for future development ways to reduce development costs and to keep new players engaged. A secondary goal for this paper is to introduce software game development as a topic of importance to the empirical software engineering community and discuss research results on a key difference area: data analytics on user data to customize user and development experiences” (Hullett, Nagappan, Schuh and Hopson, 2012)

If you have downloaded the source code from this book's companion web site, you will find the following files in the Chapter 07 folder: • GirlNames.txt--This file contains a list of the 200 most popular names given to girls born in the United States from the year 2000 through 2009. • BoyNames.txt--This file contains a list of the 200 most popular names given to boys born in the United States from the year 2000 through 2009. Write a program that reads the contents of the two files into two separate lists, allows a user to input either a girl's name, a boy's name, or both, then tells the user whether the name(s) was/were popular between 2000 and 2009. First, the program should prompt the user to choose a girl's name, a boy's name, or both by entering either 'girl', 'boy', or 'both.' Once they have chosen, they should be able to input a name. If the name was a popular name, like Jacob or Sophia, the program should print "Jacob was a popular boy's name between 2000 and 2009." or "Sophia was a popular girl's name between 2000 and 2009." If the name was not a popular name, like Voldemort, the program should print "Voldemort was not a popular boy's name between 2000 and 2009." If the user chooses to input both a girl and boy's name, ask for the boy's name, then the girl's name, and print two statements in the form mentioned above on two separate lines, with the statement about the boy's name coming first. For example, if the user inputs Voldemort and then Sophia, print: Voldemort was not a popular boy's name between 2000 and 2009. Sophia was a popular girl's name between 2000 and 2009.
My code is working perfectly on boy and girl but it only reads that a name was not popular for boy and girl when running both.
