Question

A particular talent competition has 5 judges, each of whom awards a score between 0 and 10 to each performer. Fractional scores, such as 8.3, are allowed. A performer's final score is determined by dropping the highest and lowest score received, then averaging the 3 remaining scores. Write a program that uses these rules to calculate the display a contestant's score. It should include the following functions:

void getJudgeData() should ask the user for a judge's score, store it in a reference parameter variable, and validate it. This function should be called by main once for each of the 5 judges.

double calcScore() should calculate and return the average of the 3 scores that remain after dropping the highest and lowest scores the performer received. This function should be called just once by main, and should be passed the 5 scores.

The last two functions, described below, should be called by calcScore, which uses the returned information to determine which of the scores to drop.

int findLowest() should find and return the lowest of the 5 scores passed to it.

int findHighest() should find and return the highest of the 5 scores passed to it.

Input Validation: Do not accept judge scores lower than 0 or higher than 10.

Explanation / Answer

Dear,

//Header file section

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

//function prototypes

void getJudgeData(double &x);

double findLowest(double ,double ,double ,double,double);

double findHighest(double,double,double,double,double);

void calcAverage(double,double,double,double,double);

void main()

{

   //variable declaration

     double j_score1,j_score2,j_score3,j_score4,j_score5;

    cout<<"Score collection of all the five judges ";

//function calls to get each judges data

getJudgeData(j_score1);

getJudgeData(j_score2);

getJudgeData(j_score3);

getJudgeData(j_score4);

getJudgeData(j_score5);

//function call to obtain average

      calcAverage(j_score1,j_score2,j_score3,j_score4,j_score5);

//pause system for a while

system("pause");

}

//function definitions

void getJudgeData(double &x)

{

cout<<"Enter score of judge you got: ";

cin>>x;

while (x < 0 || x > 10)

   {

   cout<<"ERROR: Reenter: ";

     cin>>x;

   }

}

double findLowest(double a,double b,double c, double d,double e)

{

double lowest;

   lowest=a;

if (b<lowest)

     lowest=b;

if (c<lowest)

     lowest=c;

if (d<lowest)

     lowest=d;

if (e<lowest)

     lowest=e;

return lowest;

}//end findLowest

double findHighest(double a,double b,double c, double d,double e)

{

   double largest;

   largest=a;

   if (b>largest)

     largest=b;

   if (c>largest)

     largest=c;

   if (d>largest)

     largest=d;

   if (e>largest)

     largest=e;

return largest;

}//end findLargest

void calcAverage(double a,double b,double c, double d,double e)

{

double lowest;

double largest;

double sum;

// function call to retrive lowest score

lowest=findLowest(a,b,c,d,e);

//function call to retrieve highest score

largest=findHighest(a,b,c,d,e);

sum=a+b+c+d+e;

sum=sum-largest;

sum=sum-lowest;

sum=sum/3;

//outputting average score

cout<<" After droping highest and lowest scores which you recieved, ";

cout<<"Your average score is "<<sum;

}//end calAverage
