c++ using structures and arrays in files help

[lolrostom]

help im stuck i want to get everything starting from the second place as the question says

Description:

After Dubai organized its first International Marathon, the organizing committee provided you with
a text file containing information on athletes’ performance during this competition. Each line in this
text file has the following information on a single athlete: first name (one word), last name (one
word), number, citizenship, and the time they took to finish the race. For example, the line:
Peter Gabrielle 3252 Kenya 127
refers to the athlete Peter Gabrielle, having the number 3252, from Kenya, and terminated the race
in 127 minutes.
The organizing committee is asking you to develop a C/C++ program that offers the following
features, from which, the user can select:
 The number of athletes who completed the race
 The athlete who won the first position
 The athlete who won the second position
Notes
 Assignments are individual works
 Teamwork not allowed
 If you reuse material from other sources (internet, books, papers…), you have to
cite appropriate sources.  The athlete who won the third position
 Which citizenship has the maximum number of athletes?
 Write all the above information into a text file.
Your program should provide the user with a menu from which the user can repeatedly select an
option. If the user presses ‘Q’ or ‘q’, the program terminates.
