Description of the problem:
Title of this program: Lowest Test-Score Drop
Write a Python program that calculate the average of a group of test scores,
where the lowest score in the group is dropped.
Requirements:
This program must use the following functions:
• def main() is like a main menu.
? It will call the getScore() to get the four test scores by asking the
user.
? It will get rid of the lowest test score with the help of findLowest(...) 
function.
? It will calculate the average of the three highest scores with the
help of calcAverage(...) function.
• def getScore() should ask the user for a test score, and return a validated
test score that is not lower than 0 or higher than 100.
? This function should be called by main function once for each of
the four scores to be entered.
• def findLowest(...) should find and return the lowest of the four scores
passed to it.
? It should be called by main function, which uses this function to
determine which one of the four scores to drop.
• def calcAverage(...) should accept three highest scores and calculate
their average.
? This function should be called just once by the main function that
passes the three highest scores to it.
You may insert any additional functions if necessary.
Items to be handed in:
• An algorithm for this program
• A copy of your program Python source code and at least one complete
sample run.
Your filename must be: ####assign2
where: #### is the last four digits of your student number
