// H-Score Scoring Formula

//

// Inputs:

//      x[0] - 3+ Percentage [0..100]

//      x[1] - 2+ Percentage [0..100]

//      x[2] - 1+ Percentage [0..100]

//

// Output:

//      score [0..400]

 

double score = 0;

 

double w1 = 2; // weighting for 1+

double w2 = 3; // weighting for 2+

double w3 = 4; // weighting for 3+

 

score =  (x[0] * w3) + (x[1] * w2) + (x[2] * w1);

 

return score;
