The diving competitions at the gala will be scored by five judges - Edexcel - GCSE Computer Science - Question 9 - 2021 - Paper 1

Declare a variable inFactor to hold the degree of difficulty factor:

REAL inFactor

Initialize variables to hold the highest and lowest scores:

REAL highest = 10.0
REAL lowest = 0.0

Use a loop to find the highest and lowest scores:

FOR index FROM 1 TO LENGTH(scores) DO
  IF scores[index] < lowest THEN
    lowest = scores[index]
  END IF
  IF scores[index] > highest THEN
    highest = scores[index]
  END IF
END FOR

Compute the total of the remaining scores:

REAL total = 0
FOR index FROM 1 TO LENGTH(scores) DO
  IF scores[index] != highest AND scores[index] != lowest THEN
    total = total + scores[index]
  END IF
END FOR

Calculate the final dive score:

REAL diveScore = total * inFactor
DISPLAY diveScore
