            StudentDetails[] student = new StudentDetails[n];


            for (int row = 0; row < n; row++)
            {
                    Console.WriteLine("Please Enter Student name :");
                    student[row].name = Console.ReadLine();
                    Console.WriteLine("Please Enter Student Marks :");
                    student[row].mark = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());
               
            }


            int max = student[0].mark;
            for (int row = 0; row < n; row++)
            {
                if ( student[row].mark > max)
                    max = student[row].mark;
         
            }


            for (int row = 0; row < n; row++)
            {
                Console.WriteLine();
                Console.WriteLine("-----------------------------");
                Console.WriteLine("Details of Student: " + (row + 1));


                Console.WriteLine("Student Name= " + student[row].name);
                Console.WriteLine("Student Mark= " + student[row].mark);
            }
            Console.ReadLine();
            }
         
    }

(dis code in Visual Studio)

Saving only the max student, based on their score, obviously won't give you the top 5 students.

Why not sort the students by their score (all the students), and then take the top five students, from there?

A Bubble sort is perhaps the simplest, but there are LOTS of sorting algorithms. Why not look up Bubble sort on Wikipedia, and use it, if your teacher has shown you no others?

sry i forget to write structure code

Code:

---

public struct StudentDetails
    {
        public string name;
        public int mark;
    }

I'm guessing that this is C#, so I am moving this thread to the C# forum.

ok i'l try...

thnxxxx Adak...i got d ans....:biggrin:

It's actually really simple in C#:

Code:

---

foreach(StudentDetails student in students.OrderByDescending(s => s.mark).Take(5))
{
    // Print details here
}
