    Exclamation strange numbers?

    Code:
    #include<iostream>
    #include<cstdlib>
    int qualityPoints(int);	// prototype
    int main()
    {
    	int average;	// declare variable
    	cout<< "Enter your average";	// prompt the user for input
    	cin>> average;	// get input
    	cout<< qualityPoints(average);
     system("PAUSE");
     return 0;
    }
    int qualityPoints(int value)	// definition
    {
     if(value>89 && value<101)
                 return 4;
                 else if(value>79 && value<90)
                             return 3;
                             else if(value>69 && value<80)
                                  return 2;
                                  else if(value>59 && value<70)
                                       return 1;
                                       else if(value<60 && value>0)
                                            return 0; else cout<< "Enter within limit";
    }
    when I type 101 or higher it gives me 'Enter within limit' + some numbers. What are these numbers? I think there is some problem in loops. I don't know exactly.

                                       return -1; //here,if you input a higher number, the function returns -1
                                       }
    }
