Question

The code below is supposed to display the name and score for the student with the highest score one time before the program ends. It is displaying Jim as the student with the highest score. It is displaying the highest score of 95. Unfortunately, Jim does not have a score of 95. Correct the following code:

Declare String students[SIZES] = {"Jen", "Jon", "Jan", "Joe", "Jim"}
Declare Integer scores[SIZES] = 70, 85, 72, 95, 90
Declare Integer index Declare Integer highest = scores[0]
Declare Integer highest Name = " " For index = 0
To SIZES //Assume that this translates to For (index = 0; index <= SIZES, index ++)
If scores[index] > highest then highest = scores[index]
End Of highestName = students[index]
End For Display "

The name of the student with the highest score is ", highest Name Display "The highest score is ", highest

Answer 1

Modify

If scores[index] > highest then highest = scores[index]

End Of highest

Name = students[index]

End For Display

to

If scores[index] > highest then highest = scores[index]

Name = students[index]

End Of highest

End For Display

Step-by-step explanation:

In the code, you posted the code segment that gets the name of the student with the highest score is outside the if condition that determines the highest.

To make correction, we only need to bring this code segment into the loop.
