Add to High Score Array

[kiwi_koder]

I have an array with the top 10 high scores. I know how to add to the array, and sort the array with Sort(); but how do you add a value to the array, lets say that is the 2nd highest score, so I want to add this new 2nd place high score, deleting the current 10th high score and moving the other scores down one place?

Cheers for any ideas

Use generic lists instead. With lists you can Add, Insert, RemoveAt, etc.

C#

using System.Collections.Generic

List<int> scores = new List<int>();
scores.Add(25);
scores.Add(50);
scores.Insert(0, 28);
scores.Sort();
scores.RemoveAt(0);

javascript

import System.Collections.Generic;

var scores : List.<int> = new List.<int>();
scores.Add(25);
scores.Add(50);
scores.Insert(0, 28);
scores.Sort();
scores.RemoveAt(0);

This is a very basic programming exercise.

C#

int [] highScore = new int[] { 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 };

int InsertScore( int score ) {
   int i = 0;

   //Look for the index to insert score
   while( i < highScore.length ) {
      if( highScore *<= score ) {*

break;
}
i++;
}
//Score doesn’t make it to top 10
if( i >= highScore.length ) {
return -1;
}
//Push all the scores not higher than score backward
for( int j = highScore.length - 1; j <= i; --j ) {
highScore[j] = highScore[j-1];
}
//Set score
highScore = score;
return i;
}

Correction for Chronos-L Answer. [JS version , but I guess its correct in C# too].

 function recordHighScore(score) {
    var i = 0;
    while(i < highScores.length) {
        if(highScores *<= score)* 

break;
i++;
}
if(i >= highScores.length)
return;
for(var j = highScores.length - 1; j > i; --j) {
console.log(highScores[j - 1]);
highScores[j] = highScores[j - 1];
}
highScores = score;
}
