Two things in an IF statement

[GladysMccurry]

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 = 4

I am lost and new to C, I would appreciate any help.
Thanks

could do something like this:

<br /> include <stdio.h><br /> #define MAX 5<br /> <br /> int main()<br /> <br /> {<br /> <br /> int i = 1;<br /> int number = 0, highNum = 0;<br /> int highPosition = 0;<br /> <br /> printf("This program will choose the largest number entered.");<br /> printf("nWe are going to enter five numbers.nn");<br /> <br /> for (i = 1; i <= MAX; i++)<br /> {<br /> printf("Enter an integer: ");<br /> scanf("%d", &#038;number);<br /> <br /> if (number > highNum)<br /> {<br /> highNum = number;<br /> highPosition = i;<br /> }<br /> }<br /> <br /> printf("nThe largest number entered was %dn", highNum);<br /> printf("nThe number was in position %dn", highPosition );<br /> return 0;<br /> }<br /> <br />

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33

<br /> include <stdio.h><br /> #define MAX 5<br /> <br /> int main()<br /> <br /> {<br /> <br /> int i = 1;<br /> int number = 0, highNum = 0;<br /> int highPosition = 0;<br /> <br /> printf("This program will choose the largest number entered.");<br /> printf("nWe are going to enter five numbers.nn");<br /> <br /> for (i = 1; i <= MAX; i++)<br /> {<br /> printf("Enter an integer: ");<br /> scanf("%d", &#038;number);<br /> <br /> if (number > highNum)<br /> {<br /> highNum = number;<br /> highPosition = i;<br /> }<br /> }<br /> <br /> printf("nThe largest number entered was %dn", highNum);<br /> printf("nThe number was in position %dn", highPosition );<br /> return 0;<br /> }<br /> <br />

Thank you, that is exactly what I was looking for.
I wish my textbook had an example like that for an If statement.
