Thread: Array help on my quiz

Hey guys, so I just recently got back into programming and I decided to program one of those stupid "what highschool stereotype are you" quizzes to see what i still remember. Everything went great untill I realized that I don't know how to check if one variable is the greatest out of all the variables in the program (which would decide the end result) without writing a ton of if statements. I asked someone how i could do it in a simpler way and they said I need to put my variables in an array so I could bubble sort them. So my question is how do I make an array with 8 int variables in it and also if you could help me out with the whole bubble sort thing that would be great. Here's my program so far if it helps (im only putting in the first part cuz its pretty long but you should get the gist of what I'm trying to do)

Code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main ()
{
	int think;
	int bro = 0;
	int jock = 0;
	int art = 0;
	int rock = 0;
	int stoner = 0;
	int nerd = 0;
	int rich = 0;
	int ba = 0;
	int a;
	int b;
	int c;
	int d;
	int e;
	int f;
	int g;

	cout<<"THE HIGHSCHOOL STERIOTYPE QUIZ\n";
	cout<<"\n";
	cout<<"How To Play:\n";
	cout<<"You will be asked a series of questions to determine your personality, \nanswer truthfully by typing the number next to the response that fits you best \nand then hitting the enter key. In the event that multiple responses fit you, \nDO NOT type both numbers, choose the one that fits you best.\n";
	cout<<"\n";
	cout<<"Are you ready to find out what highschool steriotype you are? \nPress enter to find out!\n";
	cin.get();

	cout<<"What would you classify yourself as? (does not count towards final result)\n";
	cout<<"\n";
	cout<<"1. Lax Bro\n";
	cout<<"2. Jock\n";
	cout<<"3. Artist\n";
	cout<<"4. Rocker\n";
	cout<<"5. Stoner\n";
	cout<<"6. Nerd\n";
	cout<<"7. Rich Kid\n";
	cout<<"or are you...\n";
	cout<<"8. BEYOND AUTHORITY!!!\n";
	cout<<"\n";
	cin>> think;
	cout<<"\n";

	cout<<"QUESTION 1\n";
	cout<<"\n";
	cout<<"What's your favorite sport?\n";
	cout<<"\n";
	cout<<"1. Football\n";
	cout<<"2. Do gigs count as sports?\n";
	cout<<"3. Baseball\n";
	cout<<"4. Lacrosse\n";
	cout<<"5. Sports?\n";
	cout<<"6. I'm too good for sports\n";
	cout<<"\n";
	cin>> a;
	cout<<"\n";

	switch (a) {
		case 1:
			jock = jock + 1;
			break;
		case 2:
			rock = rock + 1;
			break;
		case 3:
			rich = rich + 1;
			break;
		case 4:
			bro = bro + 1;
			break;
		case 5:
			art = art + 1;
			nerd = nerd + 1;
			stoner = stoner + 1;
			break;
		case 6:
			ba = ba + 1;
			break;
		default:
			cout<<"Wow... Is it really that hard to put in the right number? GET OUT!\n";
			return 0;
	}
