Parse through star_adjacency.csv file to extract closest stars data

fmcubium / Starcrosser

The size and properties of interstellar space are often incorrectly perceived or understood, as a result of our struggle with comprehending extremely large or small things. Our goal is to build a program that helps users visualize extremely large distances in space, particularly between observed star systems.

We need to implement a script or function to parse through the star_adjacency.csv file and extract the list of closest stars for each star in the dataset.

What particular ways would you want to organize this?

In my personal opinion we should use a csv library of some sort. Ex. fast-cpp-csv-parser https://github.com/ben-strasser/fast-cpp-csv-parser

That's fine, we can definitely use a library to parse the csv if it improves performance
