    Returning Values

    What's wrong with this code?
    it returns Zero;


    Code:
    /*snipt*/
    cout<<"Do you want to know what GPA you currently have in this School Year\n";
    cout<<"To see if you're on track for you goal?\n"<<endl;
    cout<<" (1)Yes\t";cout<<"(2) No";
    cin>>choice;
    long double GPA;
    switch (choice)
    {
    case 1: cout<<"Let's take a hack at it then\n";
            GPA=YearGPA();
            break;
    case 2: cout<<"No Problem\n";
            break;
    }
    
    cout<<"That's an average of \n";
    cout<<GPA;
    if(FinalGpa2<=GPA)
    {
    cout<<"See You're on your way already.\n";
    }
    else
    cout<<"Well you have to do better than that\n";
    
    
    /*snip*/
    
    
    
    
    //Function definition
    
    
          long double YearGPA()
    {
    
    cout<<"For how many nine weeks do you want to average your GPA?\n";
    int N_Weeks;
    cin>>N_Weeks;
    int CurrentGPA;
    switch (N_Weeks)
    {
    
    case 1: CurrentGPA=OneNineWeeks();
    
           break;
    case 2: TwoNineWeeks();
            break;
    case 3: ThreeNineWeeks();
             break;
    case 4: FourNineWeeks();
             break;
    
             return CurrentGPA;
    }
    
    
     }
    
    int OneNineWeeks()
    {
    int first;
    int second;
    int third;
    int fourth;
    int fifth;
    int six;
    cout<<"What Grade did you get for the following classes\n";
    cout<<"First Period:\n";
    cin>>first;
    cout<<"Second Period:\n";
    cin>>second;
    cout<<"Third Period:\n";
    cin>>third;
    cout<<"Fourth Period:\n";
    cin>>fourth;
    cout<<"Fifth Period:\n";
    cin>>fifth;
    cout<<"Six Period:\n";
    cin>>six;
    int temp1;
    int temp2, temp3, temp4, temp5, temp6;
    int tempEX=2;
    temp1=first * tempEX;
    temp2=second * tempEX;
    temp3=third * tempEX;
    temp4=fourth * tempEX;
    temp5=fifth * tempEX;
    temp6=six * tempEX;
    temp6=temp1+temp2+temp3+temp4+temp5+temp6;
    int temp7;
    temp7=temp6/6;
    return temp7;
    }


    Yet I aways get zero for the GPA.

    The problem rests in many things (as I can see by just glancing at your code). The main problem is this:
    Code:
    temp7=temp6/6;    // NO NO NO
    In C/C++, when you do division with integers it truncates the decimal part. Which also points out another problem with your program.. You defined/declared everything as an integer. GPA's and grades are usually real numbers, so redefine everything as a double.

    So to fix your program (mostly), redefine everything as double's and do the above code like this:
    Code:
    temp7 = temp6 / 6.0; // Correct
    I didn't really have time to go through your code thoroughly (sorry), but I think I pointed out the recurring problem.

    Good luck
