Find the minimum and maximum element of 5 different elements in C++

Need to take out the highest and lowest numbers of 5 judges 0 to 10 on the score

cout << "Please enter the name of the athelete.\n";

            getline(cin, name);


            cin >> name;

            cout << "Please enter the first judge's score below\n";


            cout << "Please enter a score between 0 and 10.\n";

            cin >> First_Score;

Always separate input and logic.

#include <vector>  // std::vector
#include <numeric> // std::sort, std::accumulate
#include <cassert> // assert

auto score(std::vector<double> scores) {
    assert(scores.size()>2);
    auto n = scores.size() - 2;
    // sort ...
    // sum ...
    return sum / n;
}

int main() {
    assert(score({1,5,9}) == 5);
    assert(score({5,5,5}) == 5);
    assert(score({0,5,0}) == 0);
    assert(score({1,2,3,4,5,6}) == 3);
}

I left the actual implementation for you. My implementation fits in three lines.

I hope this inspires you to get a clean implemntation, that you can easily use to write the rest of the program with.

The simplest solution would be to create two additional variables. The first, 'lowest', to store the lowest value and the second, 'biggest' to store the biggest value.

int lowest = 0, biggest = 11;
...
cin >> First_Score;
            while (First_Score < 0 || First_Score > 10)
            {
                cout << "That is not a valid input, please pick between 0 and 10.\n";
                cin >> First_Score;
                cout << "Your selection was " << First_Score << endl;
            }
lowest = First_Score;
biggest = First_Score;
...

And then for each judge :

 cout << "Please enter the fifth judge's score here below\n";
            cin >> Fifth_Score;

            while (Fifth_Score < 0 || Fifth_Score > 10)
            {
                cout << "That is not a valid input, please pick between 0 and 10.\n";
                cin >> Fifth_Score;
                cout << "Your selection was " << Fifth_Score << endl;
            }
if(lowest > Fifth_Score)
 lowest = Fifth_Score;
if(biggest < Fifth_Score)
 biggest = Fifth_Score;
...

int sum = Avg_Score = (First_Score + Second_Score + Third_Score + Fourth_Score + Fifth_Score);
Avg_Score = (sum - lowest - biggest) / 3;
...
