How should this program be written in DEV C++?

[JohnnyBR]

A particular talent competition has 5 judges, each of whom awards a score between 0 and 10 to each performer. Fractional scores, such as 8.3, are allowed. A performer's final score is determined by dropping the highest and lowest score received, then averaging the 3 remaining scores. Flowchart and write a program that uses this method to calculate a contestants score. It should include the following functions:

void getJudgeData(...)
should ask the users for a judge's score, store it in a reference variable, and validate it. This function should be called by main once for each of the five judges. Do not accept scores less than 0 or higher than 10.

void calcScore(...)
should calculate and display the average of 3 scores that remain after drooping the highest and the lowest scores the performer received. This function should be called by main just once, and should be passed the 5 scores.

int findLowest(.. )
should find and return the lowest of five scores passed to it. Called by calcScore.

int findHighest(.. )
should find and return the highest of five scores passed to it. Called by calcScore.

Heres what I have

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

void getJudgeData(double &, int );
void calcScore(double, double, double, double, double);
double findLowest(double, double, double, double, double );
double findHighest(double, double, double, double, double );
double score;
int judge;


int main()

{

double judge1;
double judge2;
double judge3;
double judge4;
double judge5;

getJudgeData(judge1,1);
getJudgeData(judge2,2);
getJudgeData(judge3,3);
getJudgeData(judge4,4);
getJudgeData(judge5,5);

calcScore(judge1, judge2, judge3, judge4, judge5);
system ("pause")
return 0;
}



void getJudgeData(double &score, int x)
{

cout <<"Please enter Judge " << x <<"'s score:\n";
cin >> score;

while (score < 0 || score > 10)
{
cout << "Score must be between 0 and 10. Please enter a score in that range:\n";
cin >> score;

}

}


double findLowest(double s1, double s2, double s3, double s4, double s5)
{
double lowest;



return lowest;

}



double findHighest (double s1, double s2, double s3, double s4, double s5)
{
double highest;


return highest;

{

void calcScore();
double avgScore
avgScore = (total - highest - lowest) / 3;
cout << "The average score is "<< aveScore << endl;

}

For future reference try to use the code tags it makes things much easier to use. Its the # in the toolbar.

As for your project, a good start. As is the policy here we cannot do everything for you but I can give a few pointers.

First, the scores are 1-10 so maybe use int instead of double.

Second I would store the data in a 2-dimensioned array. One dimension for the judge and one for the contestant. This makes passing the data around easier and then you can setup some simple loops in the calc. Otherwise as you have seen your lowest/highest code is difficult because it would be a huge if/else thing.
