Get The Highest Score Using Struct

[AT-2017]

I am doing C programming after a long time and stuck into few basic things using struct and array. Though I've two requirements but the sample input and output as follows:

Inputs:1) Id Score
1002 100
1004 200

2) Id Score
1002 100
1004 100

Outputs:

1) Highest Scorer: 1004 200

2) Highest Scorer: 1002 100
Highest Scorer: 1004 100 //As both have the same score

The two requirements are - 1) Two loops will be there, not nested 2) The first loop should store the highest score, then the second loop should check which matches the highest score. Pretty simple, so I did the following:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

struct Student
{
  int id;
  float score;
} student1[2], dest[100];

int
main ()
{
  int i, j, n, highest = 0;
  n = sizeof (student1) / sizeof (*student1);
  for (i = 0; i < n; ++i)
    {
      scanf ("%d %f", &student1[i].id, &student1[i].score);
    }

  for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
    {
      dest[i] = student1[i]; //Keeping the copy of array student1
    }

  //Tried to store the highest score here
  for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
    {
      if (dest[highest].score < dest[i].score)
    highest = i;
    }

  for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
    {
      if (dest[i].score = dest[highest].score) //Finally checking the highest score here
    printf ("Highest Scorer: %d %f\n", dest[highest].id,
        dest[highest].score);
    }

  return 0;
}

I've two things that doesn't match my criteria. The above code doesn't get me the second output given in the sample input two. When both the id has same score, it doesn't give any output. Secondly, Whenever I've the highest score, unfortunately the result is the following:

Highest Scorer: 1004 200
Highest Scorer: 1004 200

You don't need the dest array. Rather, make use of the first loop to find the highest score. Then, in the second loop, print all the records that have the highest score.

You might want to store the score as an int instead of a float if the score isn't going to need to be floats. This will simplify checking the records to see if they have the highest score.

Hello laserlight! Thanks for your suggestion and I was able to make it work as you wrote. Here is the code that worked finally and let me know if I did it in the right way:

#include <stdio.h>

//Array of struct 
struct Student
{
  int id, score;
} student1[2];
 
int main ()
{
  int i, j, n, highest = 0;
  n = sizeof (student1) / sizeof (*student1); //No of elements
  
  //Iterate the inputs with the below loop
  for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
  {
     scanf ("%d %d", &student1[i].id, &student1[i].score);
      
     if(student1[i].score > student1[highest].score) //Get the highest score
            highest = i;
  }
 
  //Iterate the below loop to print the student id who has the highest score 
  for (j = 0; j < n; j++)
  {
      if (student1[j].score == student1[highest].score) //Finally checking the highest score here
      {
        printf ("Highest Scorer: %d %d\n", student1[j].id, student1[highest].score);
      }
  }
 
  return 0;
}
