Question

Write a C++ program using a do while loop for (Find the highest score). The program should work for any number of students. Run the program for 3 cases:

Answer 1

1. #include <iostream>
2. using namespace std;
3. int main()
4. {
5. int highest = 0;
6. int score;
7. do{
8. cout<<"Input a score: ";
9. cin>>score;
11. if(score > highest){
12. highest = score;
13. }
14. }while(score >= 0);
16. cout<<highest;
17. return 0;
18. }

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, create a variable highest and initialize it with zero (Line 5). Next, create a do while loop (Line 7 - 14). Within the loop prompt user to input a score (Line 8-9) and if the current score is higher than the highest variable, assign the score to highest variable (Line 11 - 13).

After finishing the loop when user put in any negative value, the program shall be able to print out the highest input score (Line 16).
