C++ question/update

Given the following, how do I get the program to print-off cut-off values?. For each exam, the A cut-off is 0.9* the highest score. B cut-off is 0.8 * the highest , C cut-off is 0.7* the highest value and D cut-off is 0.6 * the highest value. I want it to print-out a table with A to D cut-offs as well as cut-off totals. This makes 4 columns(1 for each exam and 1 for totals) as well as 4 rows(A to D cut-offs). I got the result, but my method involves calling the GetHighestValue(exam1Array) function 3 times, for the three dirfferent arrays and manually multipling them out. It works but it's crude. i would prefer using a function. I am just a little lost as to how to design that function. Thanks!!

Code:

//Sample Program 12- A non-interactive program to calculate student grades.
//**************************************************************************************
#include<iostream>
#include<iomanip>
#include<fstream>
#include<string>
using namespace std;

const int SIZE=6;
int GetHighValue(int array[]);

int main()
{
	int exam1Array[SIZE];
	int exam2Array[SIZE];
	int exam3Array[SIZE];
	int i=0;
	string name;
    ifstream inFile;

	inFile.open("grades.dat");
		if(!inFile)
		{
			cout<<"Unable to open input file, program abnormally ended";
			return 1;
		}
        for(i=0; i<SIZE; i++)
		{
         
         inFile>>name>>exam1Array[i]>>exam2Array[i]>>exam3Array[i];
		 
		}
		 
			
        GetHighValue(exam1Array);
		cout<<"The highest for exam 1 is"<<GetHighValue(exam1Array)<<endl;
	    GetHighValue(exam2Array);
		cout<<"The highest for exam 2 is"<<GetHighValue(exam2Array)<<endl;
	    GetHighValue(exam3Array);
		cout<<"The highest for exam 3 is"<<GetHighValue(exam3Array)<<endl;
		 
		
		 
         
		 
		 return 0;
}



    int GetHighValue(/*in*/ int array[])
			{
				 int highScore=0;
				 int i=0;

				 for(i=0; i<SIZE; i++)
				 {
					 if(array[i]>highScore)
						 highScore=array[i];
				 }

				 return highScore;
			}

You really should copy and paste that code between [code] tags.

I am not asking anybody to do my homework. I was merely asking for help to do something I had ALREADY done, a different way. Since posting this, I have already finished with that stage of the design. No need to direct me to that link.....it's unecessary.

> int exam1Array[SIZE];
> int exam2Array[SIZE];
> int exam3Array[SIZE];
Start with
int examArray[3][SIZE];
int limits[3];

Then you can have

Code:

getHighValues ( /*in*/int examArray[][SIZE], /*out*/int limits[] );

Well you should be more clear, because "I got the result, but it's crude" is often translated as "my teacher handed it back because it was wrong, now I can try again". There is more to that homework post than "Don't post your homework", it's about asking a question the right way so people don't get the wrong idea. Get it?
