Displaying Average

Aug 22nd, 2007

Hello guys. I'm currently having problems concerning displaying a student with the highest grade. I tried to start the calculation under totals but I'm currently having a hard time with it. May someone please point me in the right direction.

> I'm currently having problems concerning displaying a student with the highest grade.

It's pretty obvious.

Create a value at the start of the loop.

Go through each value and if the current value is greater than the original update it. At the end you should be left with the biggest one.

Just because it's obvious to you doesn't make it obvious to everyone.

How should I go about doing so, may you show me an example please. Also where I have
"if (studentgrade > studentgrade)
StudentName = HighestAverage;"
doesnt work. It says cant convert from char to char.

No, you learn nothing that way.

Get yourself a piece of paper and draw how it might look as a flow chart. Once you have done that, create a separate program to test your idea.

That way you know nothing else may be influencing the end result. If you are still stuck after that, post back here.

Hehe, the size of this code is already most of my gtk asteroids, this shows how inefficient the code may be...

Since when does size reflect efficiency?

Then why is quicksort so much better than bubblesort?

It's at least four or five times bigger, but in efficiency there's no comparison. The amount of code doesn't reflect efficiency; the quality of the code does. Quality isn't inversely proportional to size.
