Man, figuring out “the open winning scores” was a real head-scratcher for a while, but I finally got it sorted. Here’s how I went about it.
I started by just diving into the problem. I mean, what else can you do? I needed to get a feel for what I was dealing with. I quickly realized I needed a bunch of data, like a list of players and their scores, hopefully round by round. Initially, I just made up some dummy data to play with. Something like this:
- Round 1: Player A – 70, Player B – 72, Player C – 68
- Round 2: Player A – 69, Player B – 71, Player C – 70
- Round 3: Player A – 72, Player B – 70, Player C – 73
- Round 4: Player A – 70, Player B – 70, Player C – 70
Once I had that fake data, I started trying to figure out how to calculate the total score for each player. Simple enough, just add up their scores from each round, right? So I did just that.
Then I needed a way to find the lowest total score. I initially thought about some complicated sorting thing, but then I remembered—it’s just about finding the minimum! there are usually simple ways to get the minimum value in a list.
After I found the minimum, that’s it! that’s will be the winning scores!.
So, in a nutshell, I broke the problem down into these steps:
- Get the data (even if it’s fake at first).
- Calculate the total scores for each player.
- Find the lowest total score.
- Done! That’s the open-winning score.
It wasn’t rocket science, but it took a bit of trial and error to get the process nailed down. It always the easy way,just do it step by step!.
