Ranking NBA teams

You are given a string with results of NBA teams (see the data in "Sample Tests") separated by commas e.g:

r = Los Angeles Clippers 104 Dallas Mavericks 88,New York Knicks 101 Atlanta Hawks 112,Indiana Pacers 103 Memphis Grizzlies 112, Los Angeles Clippers 100 Boston Celtics 120.

A team name is composed of one, two or more words built with letters or digits: Atlanta Hawks, Philadelphia 76ers...

Given a string of results and the name of a team (parameter : to_find) your function nba_cup (or nbaCup or ...) will return as a string

• the name of the team followed by : and
• the number of matches won by the team
• the number of draws
• the number of matches lost by the team
• the total number of points scored by the team
• the total number of points conceded by the team

and finally a kind of marks in our ranking system

• a team marks 3 if it is a win
• a team marks 1 if it is a draw
• a team marks 0 if it is a loss.

The return format is:

"Team Name:W=nb of wins;D=nb of draws;L=nb of losses;Scored=nb;Conceded=nb;Points=nb"

Remarks:

The team name "" returns "".

If a team name can't be found in the given string of results you will return "Team Name:This team didn't play!" (See examples below).

The scores must be integers. If a score is a float number (abc.xyz...) you will return: "Error(float number):the concerned string"

Examples:

nba_cup(r, "Los Angeles Clippers") -> "Los Angeles Clippers:W=1;D=0;L=1;Scored=204;Conceded=208;Points=3"

nba_cup(r, "Boston Celtics") -> "Boston Celtics:W=1;D=0;L=0;Scored=120;Conceded=100;Points=3"

nba_cup(r, "") -> ""

nba_cup(r, "Boston Celt") -> "Boston Celt:This team didn't play!"

r0="New York Knicks 101.12 Atlanta Hawks 112"
nba_cup(r0, "Atlanta Hawks") -> "Error(float number):New York Knicks 101.12 Atlanta Hawks 112"
