Syntax Problems

[AZRebelCowgirl73]

I am trying to write a C++ program that tells the inputter what their letter grade is after they input their number grade I cant seem to make this program run. It is of the form if-then-else, and I dont want to make any changes to it expect for the if-then-else section and the variables if necessary?! Can someone help me!!!!!!!!


int main()
{
int score;
char grade;

// read in total score

cout << endl ;
cout << "Enter total score (float, must be <= 100) : " ;
cin >> score ;

//compute grade

if (score >= 85)
{grade = 'A'};
else if (score >= 75)
{grade = 'B'};
else if (score >= 65)
{grade = 'C'};
else if (score >= 55)
{grade = 'D'};
else {grade = 'F'};
// display the result

cout << endl ;
cout << "Your grade for CMIS 102 is: " << grade << endl ;

return (0); // terminate with success

none of you statements

grade = '<SomeLetter>'

have the required ; at the end of them.

Instead you have put the ; outside the code block ({...})

Laying out you code ina more orderly fasion would probably help prevent making the same mistake in the future.

It is normal for the { to appear at the end of the if line or on the line below by it self.

It is normal for the } to appear on a line by it self at the end of the code block.

HI
well paranthieses of main function is missing '}'
after when you return 0 to maion function

[mohsin]

also
in every case youy terminate the statement with } rather than ;
you must have to use ; before } remove these error it will work

Hi,

Try this...

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main() 
{
   int 
      nScore = 0;
   char 
      cGrade = '\0';

   // Get the total Score.
   cout << "\nEnter total Score (int, must be <= 100) : " ; 
   cin >> nScore ; 

   //Compute Grade
   if (nScore >= 85)
   {
      cGrade = 'A';
   }
   else if (nScore >= 75)
   {
      cGrade = 'B';
   }
   else if (nScore >= 65)
   {
      cGrade = 'C';
   }
   else if (nScore >= 55)
   {
      cGrade = 'D';
   }
   else 
   {
      cGrade = 'F';
   }

   // Display the Result.
   cout << endl ; 
   cout << "Your Grade for CMIS 102 is: " << cGrade << endl ; 

   return (0); // terminate with success
}

thanks so much for the help! Trying to learn this alone has really become quite a task. Came across this site, by accident. Expect to be here alot! Thanks again for the help! I see that for the most part I had it, just need to space more and be more clear. Thanks

try this also:

#include <iostream.h>
#include <conio.h>
{

clrscr ();
// Enter the value of the grade
cout << " The grade is: ";
double grade;
cin >> grade;

if ( grade >= 85) cout << "A";
else if (grade >= 75)
cout << "B";
else if (grade >= 65)
cout << "C";
else if (grade >= 55)
cout << "D";
else
cout << "F- Failed";
getch ();
return 0;

}

regards,
