Average score drop high and low

Mohawkuu (4)
I need to write a program that asks for 5 test score, drops lowest and highest and finds the average. I have two errors in calcscore: findlowest identifier not found, and findhighest left operand must be i-value.

I have wrote programs like this but when I should be putting stuff in the parenthesis either in prototype or function header or even when used in calcscore function.

Any help would be appreciated.

findlowest() = low;
findhighest() = high;


Should be

low = findlowest();
high = findhighest();


You also have a misspelled prototype

 
 
int finlowest();


and that is why the program cannot find the function findlowest()

Thank you so much. Stupid mistakes but I'm glad they were quick fixes.
