A1_Highest_Score_Calc.py

"""This Python script demonstrates a simple yet effective way to find the highest score from a list of student scores without relying on built-in functions 
like max. The code employs a straightforward algorithm that iterates through the list using a for loop, 
comparing each score with the current highest score found so far. """
