Help!!!
I'm trying to eliminate the highest and lowest number out of 5 inputs then get the average of the remaining 3 inputs...
In some instances, it gives me incorrect average..
(We are not suppose to use arrays yet)
Here's my code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
void getData(double& input1, double& input2, double& input3, double& input4, double& input5);
//Ask the user to input numbers
void calcscore(double& num1, double& num2, double& num3, double& num4, double& num5);
//should calculate and display the average of the 3 remaining numbers
int main()
{
double score1, score2, score3, score4, score5;
getData(score1, score2, score3, score4, score5);
calcscore(score1, score2, score3, score4, score5);
}
void getData(double& input1, double& input2, double& input3, double& input4, double& input5)
{
cout<<"Input 5 numbers : \n";
cin>> input1
>> input2
>> input3
>> input4
>> input5;
}
void calcscore(double& num1, double& num2, double& num3, double& num4, double& num5)
{
if (0 > num2&&num3&&num1&&num5&&num4)
{
cout<<"Error! Please enter numbers between 0 to 10 only" ;
cout<<"\n\n\n";
}
else if (num1 > num2&&num3&&num4 > num5)

Your problem is that you're writing very complicated and redundant code and thus it's hard to think about what your code is doing. Use a simpler algorithm to find and remove the largest and smallest values.

Use code tags please:

3rd number = highest; 5th number = lowest
Thanks for the reply...=)

<<
First find the highest/lowest integer.
When getting input, make a variable that checks for high and low numbers.
you can do something like ths :
Then post back when you get that done.

Btw, this will do, however I forgot that you weren't supposed to use arrays, but like, just something alike I had laying around.
