Need help with Arrays

[Katie G]

Newbie to QB - I have an assignment to create a grade sheet for one student. Must list name, instructor, class, test grades 1 through 5, average, low grade, high grade and new average with lowest grade dropped. I am so confused about arrays. I am using examples from class but I can't seem to get it to work. Anyone's help is appreciated. Here is what I have so far:

ok you have mixed up your array subscripts where the program should not work

HIGH = 0 'GRADE(G)
LOW = 0 'GRADE(G)
TOTAL=0
FOR G = 1 TO 5
IF GRADE(G) > HIGH THEN
HIGH = GRADE(G)
END IF
IF GRADE(G) < LOW THEN
LOW = GRADE(G)
END IF
NEXT G

That should make your high and low come out ok.
When using a for loop the subscript must be the same as you start with
and NOT the name of a variable.
i.e. GRADE(GRADE) will not work and it's bad practice anyway because it's
confusing.

Otherwise it looks like it should work fine though I havent run it to see

Watson elementary school contain 30 classrooms numbered 1 through 30. Each classroom can contain any number of student up to 35. Each student takes an achievement test at the end of the school year and receive a score from 0 through 100. Write a program that accepts data for each student in the school studentID, classroom number, and score on the achievement test
Design a program that lists the total point scored for each of the 30 classroom

Modify exercise so that each classrooms average of the test score prints, rather than each classroom's total
