Thread: how do a make my program calculate a test grade

here is the test i made and it all checks out - now I need it to print out the grade made on the test after completion.

how do I do this?

Code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{

char Answer;



cout<<"you will be givin a short Exam of 5 questions \n"<<endl;
cout<<"Press enter after each question is answered \n"<<endl;
cout<<endl;
cout<<endl;
do
{
cout<<"Question 1"<<endl;
cout<<"where was Jason Born? \n\n"<<endl;
cout<<endl;
cout<<"(a) - Chicago?"<<endl;
cout<<"(b) - Atlanta?"<<endl;
cout<<"(c) - Pheonix?"<<endl;
cout<<"(d) - Tucson?" <<endl;
cin>>Answer;

cin.get();

if (Answer=='d')
{
cout<<"Thats Correct!"<<endl;
}
else
cout<<"Try Again"<<endl;
}while (Answer== 'a' || Answer=='b' || Answer=='c');

do
{
cout<<"Question 2"<<endl;
cout<<"Where did Jason go to highschool"<<endl;
cout<<endl;
cout<<"(a) Sahuaro ?"<<endl;
cout<<"(b) Sabino ?"<<endl;
cout<<"(c) Huntsville ?"<<endl;
cout<<"(d) Santa Rita ?"<<endl;
cin>>Answer;

cin.get();

if (Answer=='a')
{
cout<<"Right again!"<<endl;
}else
cout<<"try again"<<endl;
}while (Answer=='b' || Answer=='c' || Answer=='d');

do
{
cout<<"Question 3"<<endl;
cout<<"Where does Jason go to College"<<endl;
cout<<endl;
cout<<"(a) UAH ?"<<endl;
cout<<"(b) UNA ?"<<endl;
cout<<"(c) Alabama A&M ?"<<endl;
cout<<"(d) Athens Sate ?"<<endl;
cin>>Answer;

cin.get();

if (Answer=='c')
{
cout<<"Your on a roll!"<<endl;
}else
cout<<"try again"<<endl;
}while (Answer=='a' || Answer=='b' || Answer=='d');

do
{
cout<<"Question 4"<<endl;
cout<<"what is Jason's Major"<<endl;
cout<<endl;
cout<<"(a) Electrical Engineer ?"<<endl;
cout<<"(b) Civil Engineer ?"<<endl;
cout<<"(c) Computer Science ?"<<endl;
cout<<"(d) Mechanical Engineer ?"<<endl;
cin>>Answer;

cin.get();

if (Answer=='c')
{
cout<<"Yes-4 in a role!"<<endl;
}else
cout<<"try again"<<endl;
}while (Answer=='a' || Answer=='b' || Answer=='d');

do
{
cout<<"Question 5"<<endl;
cout<<"What floor is the computer science office on ?"<<endl;
cout<<endl;
cout<<"(a) 1st floor ?"<<endl;
cout<<"(b) 2nd floor ?"<<endl;
cout<<"(c) 3rd floor ?"<<endl;
cout<<"(d) Basement ?"<<endl;
cin>>Answer;

cin.get();

if (Answer=='c')
{
cout<<"Yes- you have completed this test!"<<endl;
}else
cout<<"try again"<<endl;
}while (Answer=='a' || Answer=='b' || Answer=='d');
return 0;
}

I indented but when I put the [code] tags in it lines everything up for some reason.

So think about what you need to do! How would you do so outside of a program? Figure that out and translate that into code.

So far I have this

number correct (divided by) total questions = score

Code:

 for(Answer = 0; Answer<5; Answer++)

program needs to count number correct
then divide total number into number of correct questions


I'm thinking there should be something saying correct answer instead
but I'm totally baffled right now
