how will I compute the average per contestant then will rank them to determine the winner?

Add up their scores, divide that by how many scores there are, store it (array?). Continue until you finish all the contestants, sort your data structure you used to store the averages (array), print out the averages.

how will I add their score if the scores are inside an array?

[ipushmycar]

Well how do you go through an array and access each individual element?

Hint: You do it on line 65.

	            double largest = theirscore.highest(judge1);
	            System.out.println("Highest Score is : " + largest );
	            double lowval = theirscore.lowest(judge1);

Correct me if I am wrong but it seems that each contestant has two scores. You save these scores in largest and lowval. So why not create a new array called conScore which will hold the averages of all contestants. Then before you over the data the in largest and lowval find the average of the two and add them to the array. Do that for each contestant.

conScore[0] = (larges+lowval)/2;

Just remember array indexes start at 0 though. So for contestant #1 you would have to do this.

conScore[0] //This is contestant 1.
