We have a file with data in the following form:

FirstName    LastName     Ex1    Ex2    Ex3    Ex4   Ex5   Ex6   Ex7

The program asks the person at the keyboard which exercise s/he is interested (1, 2, etc.).  The program must then display the name of the student who had the highest score on that exercise.  If there is a tie, the program  should display the name of the first student with the highest score.

Here is part of the program:

cout << "Which exercise (1-7) do you want? ";
cin >> exNumber;

inFile >> first  >> last;
bestSoFar = 0;
bestStudent = "Nobody";
while ( !inFile.eof())
{
    Skip (inFile, exNumber);
    inFile >> aScore;
// Work on finding highest score here
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

    inFile >> first >> last;
}
cout << "The student with the best score on exercise "
        << exNumber << " was " << bestStudent << endl;

Today's exercise is to work collectively to write the Skip function and to fill in statements at the comment to find the student with the highest score.  The Skip function should discard all exercise scores that come before the one specified by the person at the keyboard so that the statement (inFile >> aScore;) reads the correct exercise score.
