    Logic?

    I am a student trying to complete some homework.
    The program is supposed to demonstrate the use of an array.
    The program is supposed to input the rainfall amounts for twelve months. It is then supposed to calulate the total amount, the average, and then tell the months with the highest and lowest amounts. I'm not sure what way I should use to compare the amounts to find the highest and lowest amounts.

    >>I'm not sure what way I should use to compare the amounts to find the highest and lowest amounts.
    Create 2 variables to hold the 2 extreme numbers, highest and lowest. As you read in the new data, compare each one to the highest/lowest variables, if they are more extreme, update the highest/lowest variable accordingly.

    Use < and > within an if statement to compare values.

    Post some code when you have troubles.
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]

    *sniff sniff* I smell homework AGAIN

    Well try this:

    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    
    using namespace std;
    
    int waterfall_rain_amount[12];
    
    int main(void)
    {
    int a;
    int b;
    
    for(a=0;a<=11;a=a+1)
    {
    cin >> water_fall_rain_amount[a];
    }
    
    for(a=0;a<=11;a=a+1)
    {
    b+=water_fall_rain_amount[a];
    }
    
    cout << "Amount of rain is" << b/12 << endl;
    
    
    return 0;
    }
