(ummm.... i wasn't the one having the problem with the code, i know for a fact that the code i posted works... i was posting it so sfurlow2 could see how to do it, else i wouldn't have commented it...

ok, should more look something like this:

#include <iostream> //needed for cout and cin

using namespace std; //also needed...

int main(){

int counter = 0;
int highest = 0;

by having a variable ( i.e. int highest; ) and using an if statement after the cin to check if it is higher or lower than the one they just input, then keep the higher of the two stored there....
