two max, c++ Options

[almarkhi]

hi


am a new member here and am a beginner in c++
just wondering if you have ten variables how you can get the two maxs ?

Mohd,

Loop through all the variables (assuming they're stored in an array), checking to see if each one is bigger than the one before it. If it is, replace your 'max' variable with that value.

thanks ali for your response but i want two max not one
actually i want it in comparsion instead of array or pointer

i need the idea asap coz i have it as assignment that input student id then three test score and print the avereage of two best score

Ali where do u live in Bh?

In that case, look for the min instead using a similar method as the one I described above. Once you have that, take the average of the other two.

The alternative for n test grades would be to use a sorting algorithm (e.g. Bubble sort) and then pick the top two values.

thanks
bubble sort is already in my mind but it's not perfect
