sentinel terminated loop/avg calculation

I am working on this program and I need to add two things to it, first I need the program to accept many students names and scores (not just one) and add a sentinel terminated loop which the loop terminates when the students first name is "light" and last name is "truth". Also, on the student average calculation, I need to be able to drop the lowest score and count the highest score twice for example if the score were: 90 80 70 70 80, I would drop one of the 70's and count the 90 twice. I am really confused, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Code:

---


#include <iostream.h>
#include <iomanip.h>

int main()

{
        char firstName[25];
        char lastName[25];
                float score[5];

        char grade;
        float avg=0.0;
                float totScore=0.0;
        int x=0;
        int y=0;

        cout << "Enter student's first name, last name, and five scores:";
        cin >> firstName >> lastName;

        for (x=0; x<5; x++)
        {
                cin >> score[x];
   
                       
        }
     
   
       
        for (y=0; y<5; y++)


    totScore += score[y];
    avg = totScore/5;
        {
       
                if (avg >= 92.0)
                        grade='A';
                else if (avg >= 83.0)
                        grade='B';
                else if (avg >= 74.0)
                        grade='C';
                else if (avg >= 65.0)
                        grade='D';
                else
                    grade='F';
       
               
       
                       
                }

         

        cout << lastName<< " , " << firstName << " " << setw(6) << setprecision(2)
                << "Average:" << avg << " "
                                                  << "Grade:" << grade << endl;

                return (0);

}

First,

use here

Code:

---


#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>

using namespace std;

---

instead of

Code:

---

#include <iostream.h>
#include <iomanip.h>

---

is a start..

Also use the string class instead of an array of chars- it will make your life much easier.


Make changes and repost.
Mr. C.

Okay I put in the strings and tried to declare a struct, but I am getting two errors. I have added comments in the program.

Code:

---


#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>

using namespace std;

int main()

struct StudentRec//wouldn't I have to declare a struct declaration?
{//here I get unexpected end of file error and syntax error missing ';' before '<class-head>'
        string firstName;
        string lastName;
    string score;

        char grade;
        float avg=0.0;
    float totScore=0.0;
        int x=0;
        int y=0;

        cout << "Enter student's first name, last name, and 5 scores:";
        cin >> firstName >> lastName;
       

        for (x=0; x<5; x++)
        {
                cin >> score[x];
   
                       
        }
     
   
       
        for (y=0; y<5; y++)


    totScore += score[y];
    avg = totScore/5;
        {
       
                if (avg >= 92.0)
                        grade='A';
                else if (avg >= 83.0)
                        grade='B';
                else if (avg >= 74.0)
                        grade='C';
                else if (avg >= 65.0)
                        grade='D';
                else
                    grade='F';
       
               
       
                       
                }

         

        cout << lastName<< " , " << firstName << " " << setw(6) << setprecision(2)
                << "Average:" << avg << " "
                                                  << "Grade:" << grade << endl;

                return (0);

}

Okay, I reread my instructions and finally figured this program out. I had to make several changes, well actually rewrite the entire thing. I was way off base!
