/**
 *Chapter 7 Exercise 1:
 *
 *      (Assign grades)
 *      Write a program that reads student scores, gets the best score,
 *      and then assigns grades based on the following scheme:
 *    Grade is A if score is >= best - 10
 *           Grade is B if score is >= best - 20
 *           Grade is C if score is >= best - 30
 *           Grade is D if score is >= best - 40
 *           Grade is F otherwise.

/*
    Step 1: Ask user to input number of students (n)
    Step 2: Create an array for grades and an array for scores 
    Step 3: Write a method that gets the best score
    Step 4: Write a method that assigns grades
    Step 5: Display grades
