Need help with HW

I'm using Microsoft Visual 2005. I got this but when I debug and try it out, I get to "Enter the final exam weight as a percentage of the course grade" when I enter 25% the program disapears lol.

The question is, Write a program that predicts score needed onf inal exam to achieve a desired grade in a course. The program should interact with the user as follows.
Desired grade B
Min average 79.5
Current average 74.6

#include
#include

int main(void)
{

char desiredgrade=NULL;
double score=0.0;
double currentaverage=0.0;
double weight=0.0;

printf("Enter your desired grade");
scanf("%c%*c",&desiredgrade);
printf("Enter your current average in the course");
scanf("%lf",&currentaverage);
printf("Enter the final exam weight\n");
printf("as a percentage of the course grade");
scanf("%lf",&weight);




if ( 90<=desiredgrade && desiredgrade<=100)
{
score =(desiredgrade-(currentaverage*(100-weight)/100)+(100/weight));
printf("You need a score of %.2f on the final to get A\n",score);
}
else if (80<=desiredgrade && desiredgrade<=90)
{
score=(desiredgrade-(currentaverage*(100-weight)/100)+(100/weight));
printf("You need a score of %.2f on the final to get B\n",score);
}
else if (70<=desiredgrade && desiredgrade<=80)
{
score=(desiredgrade-(currentaverage*(100-weight)/100)+(100/weight));
printf("You need a score of %.2f on the final to get C\n",score);
}
else if (60<=desiredgrade && desiredgrade<=70)
{
score=(desiredgrade-(currentaverage*(100-weight)/100)+(100/weight));
printf("You need a score of %.2f on the final to get D\n",score);
}
return 0 ;
}

You may need to run the program with ctrl+f5 to make the window stay open.
No need for a final getchar() before the return, because Ctrl+F5 will force the prompt to stay open.

Add a getchar() after each line with scanf(), to remove the newline char from the keyboard buffer.

Then add one more getchar() before the final return 0, to hold the console window open, so you can see it.

You'll need a large loop if you want your user's choices to come back up on the screen.

Sorry I am very new to this, is this how?

printf("Enter your desired grade");
scanf("%c%*c",&desiredgrade);getchar()
printf("Enter your current average in the course");
scanf("%lf",&currentaverage);getchar()
printf("Enter the final exam weight\n");
printf("as a percentage of the course grade");
scanf("%lf",&weight);getchar()

So I press ctrl+f5 when I debug?

Essentially, yes.
But I'd prefer them to be on separate lines, because it makes them easier to spot.

printf("Enter your desired grade");
scanf("%c%*c",&desiredgrade);
getchar()
printf("Enter your current average in the course");
scanf("%lf",&currentaverage);
getchar()
printf("Enter the final exam weight\n");
printf("as a percentage of the course grade");
scanf("%lf",&weight);
getchar()

No, when you want to run your program - press Ctrl+F5. It's the same as Build -> Run without debug.

Thank you!

So now apparantly my math is off lol
