The program language is C++ for visual studio express 2013
write a program that dynamically allocates an array that holds a user defined number of names-test scores pairs. The user types a string representing the name of the student, followed by an integer representing that student’s test score. Once the user enters the names and test scores the array should be passed to a function that sorts the test scores in ascending order. Then another function should be called that calculates the average of the test scores. These two functions should take arrays of structures for arguments, with each structure containing the name and score of a single student. Use pointers rather than array indicies. The program should display the sorted scores as well as the average score with appropriate headings. Input validation DO NOT accept negative numbers for test scores.
