Well I am guessing that your program creates a file which would store the highest score, so in this case you could just check if that file exists:



Hope that helps, although if you give us a bit more information next time we will be able to help you more.

I`ve written a small program where the user translates words from one language to another.To give a bit of incentive to use the programme,i want to save and load a high score.I am using save/load array.I`m a bit confused how to get this high score started.

Thanks again

Could you supply some code so that we can see how you're doing it?

I have`nt done any code to check if the file exists yet.
I`ve got a score and high score and just check if the score>high score.
I was thinking of something like,check if the high score has been saved and if it has been load it into the program then update it if it is beaten.

DB does not automatically save scores: you have to do that yourself.

Yes,i`m using the save array command.
What i`m trying to explain is,when i give the program to someone,i think i need to check if the saved high score exists to get it started.

Just stick this in the top of your code.

What about something like>
Check if the saved high score exists.
If it does load it and print on screen.
If it does`nt print 0 in the high score.
Then save it when its beaten.
