    <p>I am trying to get this problem to work right, what it does it ask for some scores to be entered and then it is supposed to show the name of the person with the highest score. I am getting the last score entered as the highest score, the problem with that is the last score entered is not going to necessarily be the highest one entered. Any ideas on how I can fix this would be appreciated. This is homework and just so nobody says "use a list or array" we have not covered that in class and thus are not supposed to use it for this problem.</p> <pre><code> public static void main(String[] args) { // variables Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in); int count = 0; int numStudents; double grade = 0, highestGrade = 0; String name = "", highName = ""; String numGrades = JOptionPane.showInputDialog ("How many student grades are you entering: "); numStudents = Integer.parseInt(numGrades); //for(int count = 0; count &lt; numStudents; count++) while(count &lt; numStudents) { // prompt for the user to enter grades String inputName = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter a student name: "); name = inputName; //name = input.next(inputName); String inputGrade = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("What is that students grade: "); grade = Double.parseDouble(inputGrade); //grade = input.nextDouble(); count++; //if(grade &lt; highestGrade) if(highestGrade &gt; grade) { name = highName; grade = highestGrade; } else { continue; } } JOptionPane.showMessageDialog (null, "The student with the highest score is " + name + " with a grade of " + grade); } </code></pre>

    1. COIf this is homework, I'd imagine your professor is interested in an OO approach since you are using Java. Why not make a Student class with their name and grade , and then store them in a List. From there, you could traverse the list and see which student is highest.

    2. COWell, looking very quickly, you have the `highestGrade` variable initialized with 0 and you are comparing it with the forthcoming grades. You need to actualize the `highestGrade` variable as you keep finding higher grades.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
