Next Round - Algorithm

Here's your approach:

$1.$ Read $n$ (total contestants) and $k$ (cutoff position).

$2.$ Read all $n$ scores into an array.

$3.$ Store the $k$-th score as your threshold (careful: arrays are 0-indexed, so it's scores[k-1]).

$4.$ Initialize a counter to zero.

$5.$ Loop through each score and check: is it positive AND at least the threshold?

$6.$ If both conditions are true, increment your counter. The approach is using && (AND) to combine conditions: score > 0 && score >= threshold. Both must be true for a contestant to advance.
