dropping the lowest test score

I'm new to this site and a beginner in C++ programming so I'm still learning. I modify my program so that the lowest test score is drop and this score should not be included in the calculation of the average. Any help is deeply appreciated.

This is the part I modify in the program and I'm getting errors in this part:

Code:

    int min;
    int nn=0;
    for (int count = 0; count < numScores; count++)
    {
        total += scores[count];
        if(count==0)min=scores[count];
        else if(scores[count]<min) 
        {
            min=scores[count]; nn=1;
        }
        else if(scores == min)nn++;  
    }

This is the whole program:

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;


void arrSelectSort(double[], int);
void showArrPtr(double[], int);
int main()
{
    double *scores,         // To dynamically allocate an array
        total = 0.0,      // Accumulator
        average;          // To hold average scores
    int numScores;            //Counter variable    
    
    cout << "How many test scores would you like to enter? ";
    cin >> numScores;


    // Dynamically allocate large array to hold test number.
    scores = new double[numScores];
    // Get the test scores
    cout << "Enter the test scores below.\n";
    for (int count = 0; count < numScores; count++)
    {
        cout << "Score " << (count + 1) << ": ";
        cin >> scores[count];
        if (scores[count] < 0)
        {
            cout << " \nNegative test values are not possible.\n";
            cout << "Please run the program again and enter a positive integer.\n";
            while (scores[count] < 0);
        }
    }    
    // Calculate the total of the scores
    
    int min;
    int nn=0;
    for (int count = 0; count < numScores; count++)
    {
        total += scores[count];
        if(count==0)min=scores[count];
        else if(scores[count]<min) 
        {
            min=scores[count]; nn=1;
        }
        else if(scores == min)nn++;
    }


    // Calculate the average score.
    average = total / numScores;           
    //  Display the results.
    cout << fixed << showpoint << setprecision(2);
    cout << "Average Score: " << average << endl;
    // Display the donations using the array of pointers. This
    // will display them in sorted order.
    cout << "The scores are sorted in ascending order: \n"; 
    arrSelectSort(scores, numScores); 
    showArrPtr(scores, numScores);
    // Free dynamically allocated memory
    delete [] scores;
    scores = 0;
    cout << endl;      
    system("PAUSE");
    return 0;                       
}                                                            
void arrSelectSort(double array[], int size)
{ 
    int startScan, minIndex;
    double minElem;
    for (startScan = 0; startScan < (size - 1); startScan++)
    {
        minIndex = startScan;
        minElem = array[startScan];
        for (int index = startScan + 1; index < size; index++)
        {
            if (array[index] < minElem)
            {
                minElem = array[index];
                minIndex = index;
            }
        }
        array[minIndex] = array[startScan];
        array[startScan] = minElem;
    }
}
void showArrPtr(double array[], int size)
{ 
    for (int count = 0; count < size; count++)
        cout << array[count] << " ";
    cout << endl;
}

Code:

while (scores[count] < 0);

It's not very kind to loop the program forever.

Code:

else if(scores == min)nn++;

You have forgotten to use [] operator here.

To rule out the lowest score you need find it first and then calculate total score without including the lowest one(s).

It should be pretty obvious, if you've already sorted it.
