A particular talent competition has 5 judges, each of whom awards as score between 0 and 10 to each performer. Fractional scores, such as 8.3, are allowed. A performer's final score is determined by dropping the highest and lowest score received, then averaging the 3 remaining scores. Write a program that uses these rules to calculate and display a contestant's score. It should include the following functions:

Language: Python 3

A particular talent competition has 5 judges, each of whom awards as score between 0 and 10 to each performer. Fractional scores, such as 8.3, are allowed. A performer's final score is determined by dropping the highest and lowest score received, then averaging the 3 remaining scores. Write a program that uses these rules to calculate and display a contestant's score. It should include the following functions:

-getJudgeData() should ask the use for a judge's score, store in a parameter variable, and validate it. This function should be called by main program once for each of the 5 judges.

-calcScore(score1, score2, score3, score4, score5) should calculate and return the average of the 3 scores that remain after dropping the highest and lowest scores the performer received. This function should be called just once by main and should be passed the 5 scores. Two additional functions, described below, should be called by calcScore, which uses the returned information to determine which of the scores to drop. 

-findLowest(score1, score2,  score3, score4, score5) should find and return the lowest of the 5 scores passed on it. NOTE: You are not allowed to use min() function

-findHighest(score1, score2, score3, score4, score5) should find and return the highest of the 5 scores passed to it. NOTE: You are not allowed to use max() function

GET THE TOTAL AND SUBTRACT THE MIN AND MAX. THEN DIVIDE BY THREE
