Ok, Just answered my own question. just have to declare int z and put z=z+2 after the 'cout<<odd[y][x];'

wow, i see. That makes complete sense, Thank you.

Thank you! This helped get my max and min values as well.

Im really sorry about this duplication, I was not aware of this at all or how this happened, but after previewing my post, I simply clicked post. I'll try that skydiver, thanks.

Hi,
In this program we are to use arrays and this is an intro to arrays for us(one dimensional).
The error is that when i run the program its not giving me the max value but a large random number.
How can i get a max value from the values I enter?

here's the task:

b. Write a program that allows the user to enter 10 test grades. You should store these grades in an array called SCORE. Find the average test grade as well as the maximum and minimum test grades. Output the 10 test grades, the average test grade, the maximum test grade, and the minimum test grade. Be sure to label all your output.

the teacher gave us the code to use for max, but i can't figure it out:

For(I=1; I<=9; I=I+1)
{ if (Max<ary[I])  //tests to see if each of the values is bigger than what’s in Max.
   {Max=ary[I];   //if the value is bigger, it stores that value in Max.
   }
}
//at this point in the code, the biggest value in ary is stored in Max.

and my attempt:

#include <iostream>
#include <math.h>

         using namespace std;
         int main() {
             int score[10],x;
             float sum=0;
             float average;
             float max;  //assumes that the first value in the array is the biggest - gets us started
             max=score[0];
             for(x=0;x<=9;x=x+1)
             {
                  cout<<"Enter the test score: ";
                  cin>>score[x];
                           
             }
             for(x=0;x<=9;x++)
             {
                 sum+=score[x];
             }
             for (x=0; x<=9; x=x+1)

             {    
                  cout<<score[x]<<"\n";
                  
             }
             for(x=1; x<=9; x=x+1)
             { if (max<score[x])  //tests to see if each of the values is bigger than what's in Max.
             {max=score[x];   //if the value is bigger, it stores that value in Max.
             }
             }
             //at this point in the code, the biggest value in ary is stored in Max.
             cout<<"max: "<<max<<endl;
             cout<<"sum: "<<sum<<endl;
             average=sum/10;
             cout<<"average: "<<average<<endl;
             system("pause");
             return 0;
             }
             

Thank You
