    It's nice :)

    But at the end after it prints the GPA you will need it exits because there is nothing to ask(it flashes it then exits) :/


    how did you change the color of that text?

    Not bad, but we can't see the source and comment on that? I promise not to burn you too badly.

    >how did you change the color of that text?
    That was done with a nonstandard Borland function called textcolor() defined in conio.h. I'm taking a wild guess, but somehow I get the feeling that I'm right.

    Formula for calculating a GPA? I've got bad news for your friend, but that formula has been around for a while now.

    You don't have it! I'm tired of saying that conio.h is nonstandard. Compilers don't have to include lame functions like textcolor and gotoxy, they don't have to clear the screen, they don't even have to include conio at all! So please stop asking how to change the color of your text, it doesn't matter what color the text is as long as the program works. No one cares whether your text is white or green or pink or flashing neon pastels, just get the program working and users will be happy. That's it, end of story. This rant brought to you by a very annoyed programmer.

    Nothing, it works fine. I wasn't saying you don't have conio, I was saying that you don't have textcolor. Here's how it is with something nonstandard: One compiler will have a function, but that function probably will not be on another compiler, the person who writes the compiler decides what nonstandard stuff to put in. Borland is full of nonstandard functions, but MSVC++ only has these:
    _cgets(char *);
    _cprintf(const char *, ...);
    _cputs(const char *);
    _cscanf(const char *, ...);
    _getch(void);
    _getche(void);

    _inp(unsigned short);
    _inpw(unsigned short);
    _inpd(unsigned short);

    _kbhit(void);

    _outp(unsigned short, int);
    _outpw(unsigned short, unsigned short);
    _outpd(unsigned short, unsigned long);

    _putch(int);
    _ungetch(int);

    /* Non-ANSI names for compatibility */

    cgets(char *);
    cprintf(const char *, ...);
    cputs(const char *);
    cscanf(const char *, ...);

    inp(unsigned short);
    inpw(unsigned short);

    getch(void);
    getche(void);
    kbhit(void);

    outp(unsigned short, int);
    outpw(unsigned short, unsigned short);

    putch(int);
    ungetch(int);

    That's it, nothing else.
