Thread: Need Help, cannot get char to display A+,F-, etc.

I can get 'A' to display as a char, but not 'A-', what do I have to do to correct this problem. Thank YOu.

Code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
	int	exam1, exam2, exam3,
		homework1, homework2, homework3, homework4, homework5, homework6,
		quiz1, quiz2, quiz3,
		ExamScore,
		HomeworkScore,
		QuizScore,
		FinalScore;
	 char grade;

	cout << "What is your grade on Exam 1?\n";
	cin >> exam1;
	cout << "What is your grade on Exam 2?\n";
	cin >> exam2;
	cout << "What is your grade on Exam 3\n";
	cin >> exam3;

	cout << "What is your grade on Homework 1?\n";
	cin >> homework1;
	cout << "What is your grade on Homework 2?\n";
	cin >> homework2;
	cout << "What is your grade on Homework 3?\n";
	cin >> homework3;
	cout << "What is your grade on Homework 4?\n";
	cin >> homework4;
	cout << "What is your grade on Homework 5?\n";
	cin >> homework5;
	cout << "What is your grade on Homework 6?\n";
	cin >> homework6;
	
	cout << "What is your grade on Quiz 1?\n";
	cin >> quiz1;
	cout << "What is your grade on Quiz 2?\n";
	cin >> quiz2;
	cout << "What is your grade on Quiz 3?\n";
	cin >> quiz3;

	ExamScore = ((exam1 + exam2 + exam3) / 3) * .6;
	HomeworkScore =((homework1 + homework2 + homework3 + homework4 + homework5 + homework6) / 6) * .3;
	QuizScore = ((quiz1+quiz2+quiz3)/3)*0.1;
	FinalScore= ExamScore + HomeworkScore + QuizScore;


	if (FinalScore < 60)
		grade = 'F';
	else if (FinalScore >=60)
		grade = 'D-';
	else if (FinalScore >=62)
		grade = 'D';
	else if (FinalScore >=67)
		grade = 'D+';
	else if (FinalScore >=70)
		grade = 'C-';
	else if (FinalScore >=72)
		grade = 'C';
	else if (FinalScore >=77)
		grade = 'C+';
	else if (FinalScore >=80)
		grade = 'B-';
	else if (FinalScore >=82)
		grade = 'B';
	else if (FinalScore >=87)
		grade = 'B+';
	else if (FinalScore >=90)
		grade = 'A-';
	else if (FinalScore >=92)
		grade = 'A';
	else if (FinalScore >97)
		grade = 'A+';

	cout<< "Your final score is "<<FinalScore<<endl;
	cout<< "Your letter grade is " <<grade<<endl;

	return 0;
}

"A+" and "A-" is NOT one character, but a string. you need to enclose it in double quotes. That means variable grade needs to be a char*, not char because it can take on more than one character at a time.

or char grade[2];

D's are 60-69 where you are at? Around here a D is 65-69!...Not that I have ever gotten a D...errr
