How to output specific information only using arrays

[tristanbryce7]

Hello, I have a problem , In the following program, I get the information for 10 students and their heights of a data base, and the program calculates the average height number .
Now my problem is, how do I get the problem to after it gets the 10 Peoples data, only make it output the names of the peoples whose height is higher than the average, i m thinking you would need to
use a loop and put in it somewhere
if height > average, but I have no clue what to do after that, Any one know how to do it ? I am new to arrays so I am kind of confused.

Turing:

var name : array 1 .. 100 of string (20) var height : array 1 .. 100 of int %No size indicator b/c it is not a string var average : real var totalheight : int := 0 var fileNo : int var x : int := 0 setscreen ("text") open : fileNo, "Height Data.t", get put "Name" : 20, "Height (cm)" put "" loop     get : fileNo, skip %Skips over blank lines in data     exit when eof (fileNo)     x := x + 1     %All arrays need an index     get : fileNo, name (x), height (x)     totalheight := totalheight + height (x)     put name (x) : 20, height (x) end loop average := totalheight / x put "" put "The average height is ", average : 0 : 1, " cm!" put "" put "People with heights above the average are.."

If you are confused about arrays, you should revisit some of the tutorials available from the Turing Walkthrough.

Well, what do you want the computer to do when height > average?

I am pretty clear on what we 've learned in arrays so far(which is not much lol), just not how to that specific option, and I want the program to only output the heights that are above the average
I tried putting it in a loop as

(Sorry, I do not have the Syntax for showing Turing Memorised)
loop

if height > average then
put name

end loop

something along those lines, It didnt go to well

You know how to use a counter variable, as shown in your first post. Use that.

height is an array, remember? You can't compare it like that. You have to compare one specific element of the array using the array syntax, which you also know to be "height (x)" where x is an integer. name is also an array, so it follows the same rules. You're almost there, you just need to add the proper array syntax and a counter variable (or use a for loop, which is actually the better solution).

I would suggest that you start with printing all of the heights recorded in your array, and worry about filtering it (above average or not) later.

How would you print every height?
