Answer 1

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

float highestScore(float scores[], int size);

int main() {
    float scores[] = {4.5, 9.2, 1.4, 5.7, 6.2};
    cout << highestScore(scores, 5) << endl;
    return 0;
}

float highestScore(float scores[], int size) {
    float max = scores[0];
    for (int i = 0; i < size; ++i) {
        if (scores[i] > max)
            max = scores[i];
    }
    return max;
}
