Answer to Question #327642 in C++ for Wsis

Question

Write a Program: Competition Score 

Your goal is to create a program that will determine the average score for an 

athlete in a competition. There are 10 judges who each award a score between 0 and 10. The lowest and highest scores are thrown out, and the athlete’s score is the average of the eight remaining scores. The scorecard should have the first and the last name of the athlete on the first line and 10 space-separated numbers between 0 and 10 on the second line. The numbers should have at most 1 digit after the decimal point.

Example Input File: 

Mirabella Jones 

7.5 8.8 7 8.1 8 9.8 9.3 8.9

Example Output: 

First run 

ERROR: the scorecard could not be opened 

Second run 

Insufficient scores 

Mirabella Jones is disqualified 

Third run 

Invalid scores 

Mirabella Jones is disqualified 

Fourth run 

Mirabella Jones's results: 

7.5, 8.8, 7.0, 8.1, 8.0, 9.8, 9.3, 8.9

The highest score of 9.8 and the lowest score of 7.0 were dropped 

The average score is 8.59
