returning lowest score from a function

I'm suppose to write a program that uses functions to do the work. I have it all written out and everything's working except the float findLowest function. I ran debugger and found that it is always returning the first number (score1). I can't figure out what the problem is, and we aren't starting arrays for another week or two so I don't know any other way to do this function. Any help is greatly appreciated. The code is below:

Code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

void getScore(float &);
float calcAverage(float, float, float, float, float);
float findLowest(float, float, float, float, float);
// float value1, value2, value3, value4, value5;

int main()
{
   float value1, value2, value3, value4, value5;
   cout << "This program will calculate the average of a group of test scores,\n";
   cout << "with the lowest score dropped. \n\n";

      
   for (int numScores = 1; numScores <= 5; numScores++)
   {
      float value = 0.0;
      getScore(value);         

      if (numScores == 1)
         value1 = value;
      if (numScores == 2)
         value2 = value;
      if (numScores == 3)
         value3 = value;
      if (numScores == 4)
         value4 = value;
      if (numScores == 5)
         value5 = value;
   }
   
   
   float avg = calcAverage(value1, value2, value3, value4, value5);

   cout << "The average test score is " << avg << endl;



   return 0;
}






void getScore(float &score)
   {
      cout << "Please enter a test score. ";
      cin >> score;

      while (score < 0.0 || score > 100.0)
      {
         cout << "Score must be between 0 and 100. Please enter a score again. ";
         cin >> score;
      }
      
   }


float calcAverage(float score1, float score2, float score3, float score4, float score5)
{


   float lowest = findLowest(score1, score2, score3, score4, score5);

   float average = (score1 + score2 + score3 + score4 + score5 - lowest) / 4;
   
   return average;


}



float findLowest(float score1, float score2, float score3, float score4, float score5)
{
   float lowest = score1;

   if (score2 < lowest)
      score2 = lowest;
   if (score3 < lowest)
      score3 = lowest;
   if (score4 < lowest)
      score4 = lowest;
   if (score5 < lowest)
      score5 = lowest;
   return lowest;
}

Thanks.

 

Switch assignemnts around.

Code:

float findLowest(float score1, float score2, float score3, float score4, float score5)
{
   float lowest = score1;

   if (score2 < lowest)
      lowest = score2;
   if (score3 < lowest)
      lowest = score3;
   if (score4 < lowest)
      lowest = score4;
   if (score5 < lowest)
      lowest = score5;
   return lowest;
}

 

Thanks. I can't believe I didn't catch that when debugging.
