    Default How to get the list of highest score

    Hi to all,

    I am doing a program in java that will get the highest scores of the students and returns in list.
    Example:
    StudentA : 90
    StudentB : 90
    StudentC : 80
    StudentD : 70

    The result of this should return StudentA and StudentB in java list.
    Sorry for my poor english.
    Hope can anyone will help me and it will be greatly appreciated.

    Regards

    public class HighScore
    {
         public static void main(String[] args)
         {
              // TODO: insert code here
         }
    }

    A simple way to find all of the highest scores is to sort the students by their score, then return a list of all those who's score matches the first student's score (since they should have the highest score)
