How to show a value from array that relates to the value of another array, javascript

Question

I am trying to have the name show up with the score that relates to that name. So if the highest score is 98 I want Joels name to show up in the display where is says name here.

Answer 1

As names and scores arrays have same .length, you can use same i variable to select item within names array as is used to select item in scores.

Declare name variable

var name = "";

set name variable

if (scores[i] > highestScore) {
  highestScore = scores[i];
  name = names[i];
}

display name variable

document.getElementById("results")
.innerHTML = "\nAverage score  is " 
          + average 
          + "\nHigh score = " 
          + name 
          + " here with a score of " 
          + highestScore;
