Calculate Judge Score help

illlojik (80)
Hello, I am having a problem finishing this program. I'm probably just making it harder than it has to be but I still can't get it. In the calcScore function, I have to calculate the three remaining scores after dropping the highest and lowest scores, but I don't know how exactly to go about doing it. If someone can please explain it to me, it would be greatly appreciated.

Here is my program:

Looking at it now, this is a really big program...

If was doing the program, I would have made the array global, so I can change it in the functions. That would have shortened to program, but I left it the way you had it, and passed only the array values. Here is the program.

I see what you did, but I'm supposed to keep getJudgeData as a reference int value
whitenite1 (1785)
@illlojik
getJudgeData isn't an array, so I'm not sure how you can keep it as a reference. If you mean that you can't delete or change the inputs, that's different. Make two more ints. int lowest and int highest.Then where it has score[x]=-1;, just put lowest = x; and highest = x at the next one. In the loops, if you want all 5 printed, move cout << " A counted Judges score was " << score[x] <<endl; to just under the for (x=.. ..), or remove it, etc., and have the if statement as if ( score[x]!=lowest||score[x]!=highest) Then, only the three middle values will be counted and averaged.
Hope that helps..

Ooh ok, I see what you mean. Thanks for the tip :D

@illlojik
Forgot to mention, delete the two score[x]=-1; lines also.
