Write a program called premier that reads premier league scores for a season from standard input. The input file is a CSV file with this format:

Liverpool,4,Bournemouth,2
Aston Villa,0,Newcastle,0
Brighton,1,Fulham,1
Sunderland,3,West Ham,0
Tottenham,3,Burnley,0
Wolves,0,Man City,4
...

It will print out the season results in this format:

             Arsenal 26  7  5  85
            Man City 23  9  6  78
          Man United 20 11  7  71
         Aston Villa 19  8 11  65
           Liverpool 17  9 12  60
         Bournemouth 13 18  7  57
          ...

The team name will be printed in a field of width 20. The other columns are wins, draws, losses, and points. Wins, draws and losses will be fields of width 2 and points will be a field of width 3. The fields are separated by a single space.

Calculating points: wins get 3 points, draws 1, and losses 0.

Your program will include the following ingredients:

1. A team struct with fields for name, wins, draws, losses, and points.
2. An array of team structs.
3. A function that can linear search the array for a team, returning its position. As you read through the data, if a team has not appeared yet, add it into the array.
4. A comparison function for teams that sorts first by points and then by name.
5. Use the qsort function to sort the array.
6. You can make the name fields arrays of size 20. That will be large enough for Nottingham Forest which is the longest team name.
7. In class we will discuss how to read the data using scanf.
8. You program should be commented appropriately. Use meaningful variable names and programming constructs.
