I could not find the lowest average - c++

Question

I am trying to find the lowest student average in a golf game. but I could not find out how. all my attempts ended up finding the highest average which is the opposite of what I want to display.

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;
int main()
{
double total = 0; double totalr = 0;
const int round = 3; double less=0;
const int player = 5;
string name[player]={"Mike Sims ", "Paula Hill ", "Steve Jones", "Joll Burton", "Lee Smith "};
double average=0, avestudent, averound; string dummy;
int score[round][player] =
{ 78, 71, 72, 73, 74 , 76, 78, 75, 74, 79 , 74, 75, 73, 72, 78 };

}
}
cout << lowest << " was the best recorded student average from the rounds of golf." << endl;

Honestly I'm not exactly sure what your logic/ workflow is in trying to find the lowest average. In this case, I would just create an array to save the different averages. (So change your avestudent variable into an array)
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
double total = 0;
double totalr = 0;
const int round = 3;
double less=0;
const int player = 5;
string name[player]={"Mike Sims ", "Paula Hill ", "Steve Jones", "Joll Burton", "Lee Smith "};
double average=0, averound; string dummy;
double avestudent[player];
int score[round][player] = { 78, 71, 72, 73, 74 , 76, 78, 75, 74, 79 , 74, 75, 73, 72, 78 };
cout << "Player Round1 Round2 Round3 Ave./Student"<<endl;
for (int i = 0; i <player ; i++)
{
cout << setw(10) << left << name[i];
total = 0;
for (int j = 0; j <round ; j++)
{
cout << setw(16) << right << score[j][i];
total = total + score[j][i];
avestudent[i] = total / (int)round;
}
cout << fixed << setprecision(1);
cout <<setw(20)<< avestudent[i] ;
cout << endl;
}
cout << endl;
cout << setw(10) << left << "Ave./Round ";
for (int i = 0; i <round; i++)
{
totalr = 0;
for (int j = 0; j <player; j++)
{
totalr = totalr + score[i][j];
}
averound = totalr / player;
cout << setw(13)<< " "<<averound;
}
cout<< endl;
double lowest = score[round][player];
for (int j = 0; j < round; j++)
{
lowest = avestudent[0];
for (int i = 1; i < player; i++)
{
if (avestudent[i] < lowest)
{
lowest = avestudent[i];
}
}
}
cout << lowest << " was the best recorded student average from the rounds of golf." << endl;
cout << fixed << setprecision(1);
cout << endl;
}

Answer 2

The big issue with your code is that you're trying to initialize lowest to score[round][player]. You can't do this because these are the sizes of the array.
If there is an array int array[5]; you cannot access array[5]. The highest index that is reachable is array[4] because the array uses spaces 0,1,2,3,4 to hold the five integers.

Here's what I came up with:
int sums[player] = {};
int lowest_score = 0;
int lowest_player = 0;
double lowest_avg = 0.0;
for (int r = 0; r < round; r++)
{
for (int p = 0; p < player; p++)
{
sums[p] += score[r][p];
}
}
for (int p = 0; p < player; p++)
{
if ((p == 0) || (sums[p] < lowest_score))
{
lowest_player = p;
lowest_score = sums[p];
}
}
lowest_avg = ((double)lowest_score) / round;
std::cout << "The player with the lowest average score is " << name[lowest_player] << ". With an average score of " << lowest_avg << std::endl;
