apcsaArraysWinner


In a track meet, data is recorded as a single String containing pairs of (Name Time). For example: "Alice 12.5 Bob 14.2 Charlie 11.9". Given a String with that format, find the person with the fastest (lowest) lap time and return their name as a String. 


HINTS


Doubles can be parsed much like integers, and the algorithm is similar: what has to change in order to get the "alternation" between names and numbers?

apcsaArraysWinner("Alice 12.5 Bob 14.2 Charlie 11.9") → "Charlie"
apcsaArraysWinner("Slow 20.0 Fast 10.0") → "Fast"
apcsaArraysWinner("Zoe 15.5") → "Zoe"
...Save, Compile, Run (ctrl-enter)
public String apcsaArraysWinner(String data) {
  
}
