Find the highest and lowest value of a multidimensional array

[kdrewes]

Hi, I am currently working on an assignment that asks me to input test scores for 5 students for three tests using multi dimensional arrays and determined the average test score as well as the highest and lowest test score for each student. I was able to determine the average for each student however I am having trouble finding the highest and lowest score for each student. Could somebody please help me? I have included the question in the program. Thank you

//Ask the user to input the test scores of 5 students for 3 tests.

//Then for each student compute the average test score,

//as well as the student's highest and lowest test score

//and print them out.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

const int STUDENTS = 5;
const int TESTS = 3;

int main ()
{
    int score[STUDENTS][TESTS];
    int s; //Represents students
    int t; //Represents tests
    int highest;
    int lowest;
    float Average = 0;
    
    
    cout << "Input tests scores of 5 students for 3 tests: \n\n";
    
    for (s=0; s < STUDENTS; s++)
    {
        int Total = 0;
        
        for (t=0; t < TESTS; t++)
        {
            cout << "Student #" << s+1 << " - Test #" << t+1 << ": ";
            cin >> score[s][t];
            Total += score[s][t];
        }
        
        Average = float(Total) / TESTS;
        cout << "The average score is " << Average << endl << endl;
        
    }
        highest = score[0][0];
        lowest = score[0][0];
    
    cout << "===============================================================================\n\n";
    
        for (s=0; s < STUDENTS; s++)
        {
            for (t=0; t < TESTS; t++)
                {
                if(score[s][t] > highest)
                    highest = score[s][t];
                else
                    if (score[s][t] < lowest)
                    lowest = score[s][t];
                

                    }
            
            cout << "The highest score for student #" << s+1 << " is " << highest << endl;
            cout << "The lowest score for student #" << s+1 << " is " << lowest << endl << endl;
        }

    return 0;
}

Hey, the problem is that you're not restarting the variables for each student. You should do that per outter loop iteration to avoid testing the test scores of student 1 with student 2's scores for example. Add the following after your 2 cout statements on line 62:

highest = score[s][t];
lowest = score[s][t];

Works perfectly! Thank you so much for the help!
