Firstly, we would have to declare a variable that will store the highest test score value. Initialize this variable to the first test score.
Then, utilize a loop that would check all the test scores (starting with the second). If the test score is higher than the highest test score, make it the new highest test score value.
The algorithm design:

c. subproblem
An algorithm that determines the highest test score:


1. Declare a highest test score storing variable and
   initialize it to the first test score.

2. For each test score (starting with the second):
      If the test score is higher than the
      highest test score
         Make it the new highest test score value
