find the highest scorer and name?

[zw6q5Di1]

Can somebody help me find the highest scorer and the name of the person that scored the highest? This is what I have so far...

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

const int PLAYER_SIZE=40;
void getData(soccerData *);
struct soccerData
{
	int numberPlayer;
	int pointsScored;
	char namePlayer[PLAYER_SIZE];
	int highestScore;
	int nameHighest;
};

int main()
{
	const int NUM_PLAYERS=12;
	soccerData players[NUM_PLAYERS];
	int index;
	

	//Ask info
	cout<< "Enter names, numbers, and points. "<<endl;
	
	for (index=0; index<NUM_PLAYERS; index++)
	{
		//get name
		cout<< "Players name "<<(index+1);
		cout<<": ";
		cin>> players[index].namePlayer;

		//get points
		cout<< "Points scored "<<(index+1);
		cout<<": ";
		cin>>players[index].pointsScored;

		//get numbers
		cout<<"Player's number "<<(index+1);
		cout<<": ";
		cin>>players[index].numberPlayer;
	}

//Display
	
	for(index=0; index<1; index++)
	{
		double total;
		total=players[index].pointsScored;
		cout<<"Total points ";
		cout<<": "<<total*12<<endl;
	}

	return 0;
}
void getData(soccerData*)
{
	highestScore = pointsScored[0];
for (int count =1; count < NUM_PLAYERS;count++)
	{
		if (pointsScored[count]> highestScore)
			
				highestScore = pointsScored[count];
				nameHighest = count;
			
	}
	cout<<" The highest scorer is "<< PLAYER_SIZE[nameHighest] << " : "<<highestScore<<endl;
}

Somebody fix it for me?

whats the point of using this for loop if you're only iterating once? you might just get rid of the for loop dood.

for(index = 0; index < 1; index++)
	{
		double total;
		total= players[index].pointsScored;
		cout<< "Total points " << ": " <<total * 12 << endl;
	}

and when I compile this, it says soccerData was not declared in the scope. I'll let you fix that...

that's the problem, I changed it but I messed it up...please help

this is the new program, but now i cant figure out the total:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

const int PLAYER_SIZE=40;
const int NUM_PLAYERS=4;
struct soccerData;
//void getData(soccerData *);

struct soccerData
{
	int numberPlayer;
	int pointsScored;
	char namePlayer[PLAYER_SIZE];
};

int main(){
soccerData players[NUM_PLAYERS];
soccerData winner;

double highestGoals = -1;

//Ask info
cout<< "Enter names, numbers, and points. "<<endl<<endl;

for (int index=0; index<NUM_PLAYERS; index++){
	//get name
	cout<< "Players name "<<(index+1);
	cout<<": ";
	cin>> players[index].namePlayer;

	//get points
	cout<< "Points scored "<<(index+1);
	cout<<": ";
	cin>>players[index].pointsScored;

	//get numbers
	cout<<"Player's number "<<(index+1);
	cout<<": ";
	cin>>players[index].numberPlayer;
	cout<<endl<<endl;
}

//Display

	for(int index = 0; index < NUM_PLAYERS; index++){
		if(players[index].pointsScored > highestGoals){
			highestGoals = players[index].pointsScored;
			winner = players[index];
		}
	}
	cout<<"Winner is "<<winner.namePlayer<<" "<<"and he scored "<<highestGoals<<" goals "<<endl;
	return 0;
}
