Thread: having a little trouble with my program

I am a beginner and arrays/functions are giving me a bit of trouble. I a trying to find the highest midterm score and highest final score and pass it back from the function and print. I am also trying to pass the results back as an array. Can anyone help?

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int high(int result, int scores[10][2]); 

int main() 
{ 
    int highScore[2]; 

/* equivalent to two variables to hold the maximums */ 
    /* declare array - the first column contains the midterm scores, the second column contains the final scores */ 

    int scores[10][2] = {{78, 90}, {87, 88}, {65, 70}, {56, 100}, {74, 72}, 
        {33, 47}, {87, 88}, {73, 73}, {79, 83}, {95, 89}}; 
    high(highScore [2], scores[10][2]);
    
    printf("Highest midterm score: %d\n", highScore[0]);
    printf("Highest final score: %d\n", highScore[1]);
    system("pause"); 
    return 0; 
} 
/* end of main function */ 
int high(int result[2], int scores[10][2]) 
{
    for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
    {
        if (scores[i][0] > result[0])
        {
            result[0] = scores[i][0];
        }
    }
    
    for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
    {
        if (scores[i][1] > result[1])
        {
            result[1] = scores[i][1];
        }
    }
   return result[2];
}

It also helps us to have an explanation of what you need help with, and why you think you need help. Just saying "HELP" doesn't give us a clue what in direction you need help.

I need to check to see if I a sending to and returning from the function correctly. Is the way I have my function going to return both the high midterm and final score?

Thank you! I wasn't sure.
