I was hoping to get an example of a C++ program I am working on with my son
need to calculate the average of a series of game scores where we can drop
the lowest score. ie five games get the best 4 out of 5.
He is in c++ and thinks I know about this stuff. I study the book to try to
keep ahead of him, but he is a sponge I am wax.
I would need something with 3 functions if possible getscore find lowest and
average.
if you could help an old guy out so I can put him in his place I would
appreciate it.
thanks in advance

Here are two out of hundreds of possible options:
Option 1
Step 1: put the scores in an std::vector
Step 2: sort the vector in ascending order (just because it's easier)
Step 3: pull out the N last values from your vector
Option 2
Step 1: put the scores in an std::multiset (keeps them sorted)
Step 2: pull out the N last values from your multiset
Details on how to use std::vector, std::multimap, and std::sort can be found
in practically any good C++ book.

Hi guys
A bit of curve ball here ... I have a document (Word) that contains a series

350 pages of them.
I need to translate these instructions into something that can be processed
automatically, so I have used the Command pattern to set up a set of
commands that correspond to the various instructions in the document.

Hello all,
I'm looking for a very simple code analysis tool. I have a large
codebase to analyze, and all I really need to do is to find all uses
of all methods in a few interfaces.
Many tools (e.g. Resharper) obviously do this internally, but I can't
seem to find any that expose this simple functionality. Command line
would be fine -- in fact I'd prefer that but its not necessary.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
