I need help on this C++ program. I have provided sample output below the program. The variable 'N' must be an int datatype but the findAverageScore( ) function should return a double as shown in the sample output. How can I accomplish this?

/* EPP Review Part 1 Gymnastics Competition. */

#include #include #include

using namespace std;

// length is the number of elements in the array int findAverageScore(int scores[], int length ){ // create variable to store highest and lowest scores int highest = 0; int lowest = scores[0]; int total;

for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) { total += scores[i];

// Check to see if score is greater than the previous highest score if (scores[i] >= highest) { highest = scores[i]; } // Check to see if score is less than the previous lowest score if (scores[i] <= lowest) { lowest = scores[i]; } }

total = total - highest - lowest; return total / (length - 2); }

int main(){ int N; //THIS must be an int but averageScore //should be double. int maxScore = 0; int contestant; int highestContestant;

printf("Enter the number of judges: "); cin >> N; // Array of scores to be stored int* scores = new int[N];

printf("Number of judges entered: %d ", N);

while(true){ puts("Enter contestant number:"); cin >> contestant;

if(contestant > 0){

puts("Enter score: "); for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) { cin >> scores[i]; } int averageScore = findAverageScore(scores, N); if (averageScore>=maxScore) { highestContestant = contestant; maxScore = averageScore; } printf("Average score: %d ", averageScore);

} else { printf("Contestant %d had the highest score. ", highestContestant); break; } }

return 0; }

************* SAMPLE OUTPUT *******************

Number of Judges: 5

34 7 5 3 7 6

Contestant 34 6

28 8 5 8 10 7

Contestant 28 7.666666667

3 5 5 3 4 4

Contestant 3 4.333333333

1

Contestant 28 had the highest score.
