Question

Write a program that does the following for 15 students:

 Reads in 3 marks for each student, however, you need to make provision that the user

might be typing invalid values – when an invalid mark is entered, the user should be prompted to re-enter a valid mark. This should happen continuously until you have three valid marks for each student (valid marks are marks between 0 and 100; 0 and 100 included). Your prompt message to the user should indicate which number is being requested

 Calculates and displays the highest mark for each student.

Finds and displays the highest mark in the class.

 Adapt your code to also read in the name of each student, and add the name to the display

of the highest mark for each student

 When displaying the overall highest mark, the name of the relevant student should also be

displayed.

 Update your solution to make use of the getMark method. In this updated version, your prompt messages does

not have to indicate which mark is being requested.
