Can anyone help me with this question? Write a highestScore function

>>8624977
CS 1400 homework thread?

>>8624977
function val = highestScore(arr)
val = find(arr, max(arr));
end

this is sad

Learning is sad? I'm just trying to learn. I appreciate help but don't think I'm not trying to do this myself

>>8625033
I also put this on the wrong thread so sorry about that.

Youre gonna want to find a different major... This is highschool programming class tier. If you cant figure this one out with notes and a textbook, gender studies is more up your alley.

template<typename T>
size_t highestScore(const T* const scoreList, const int SIZE){
size_t index=0;
auto max=scoreList[0];
for(size_t i= 1; i<SIZE; i++)
if(scoreList[i]>max){
index=i;
max=scoreList[i];
}
}
return index;
}

//... back in main

auto index = highestScore(scoreList, SIZE);
cout<<nameList[index]<<"'s score is "<<scoreList[index];
return 0;
}// end of main
