I have this program I wrote for a user to enter 5 Integers.
Now I would like to modify it and determine what position the highest number was entered in.
Was it the 1st ,2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th entry that was largest?I would like to do something like:
int count=0;
-During my statement
if (number > highNum)
highNum = number and count++;That way when I am done count will be raised to the matching number of the highest entry.
e.g. if my numbers were 4, 17, 38, 99, 2
highNum = 99 and count = 4I am lost and new to C, I would appreciate any help.
