Instructions

You are going to write a program that calculates the highest score from a List of scores.

e.g. student_scores = [78, 65, 89, 86, 55, 91, 64, 89]

Important you are not allowed to use the max or min functions. The output words must match the example. i.e

The highest score in the class is: x

Example Input

78 65 89 86 55 91 64 89

In this case, student_scores would be a list that looks like: [78, 65, 89, 86, 55, 91, 64, 89]

Example Output

The highest score in the class is: 91

Hint

Think about the logic before writing code. How can you compare numbers against each other to see which one is larger?

Solution

student_scores = input("Input a list of student scores ").split()
for n in range(0, len(student_scores)):
  student_scores[n] = int(student_scores[n])
print(student_scores)

max_score=0
for score in student_scores:
    if score> max_score:
        max_score = score

print(f"The highest score in the class is: {max_score}")
