Question

Finding the oldest person in a large family can be a tedious task. Unfortunately, that's exactly what your dad has asked you to do. He will give you a list of your relatives with their ages, and he expects you to give him the name of the oldest person.

Write a program that reads in a list of names and ages until the user enters "quit" as a person’s name. When the sentinel (quit) appears as the name, your program should display the name of the oldest person in the list and then terminate. For example, with the list of entries
