The program uses a data structure called Contestant for storing the scores of a contestant and a set of functions related to the data structure for processing the scores of contestants. The data structure, Contestant, contains an int variable for the contestant's ID and an array of doubles for the scores given to the contestant. Each ID must be a positive integer. Each score must fall in the range from 0.0 to 10.0 inclusive. Your job is to complete the program so that its output matches the expected outputs when testing with the same test data. First, complete everything that is required of you at the top of the file. Then complete those and only those incomplete functions according to their descriptions. Each of the incomplete functions has the following line in its body. // Write your code with comments . . .
