Thread: Input int score then get grade???

Code:

/* This program reads a test score, calculates the letter
 grade for the score, and prints the grade.
*/
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

char studentScore (int score);

int main ()

{
 cout << "Enter the test score (0-100): ";
 int  score;
 cin  >> score;
 char grade = studentScore (grade);
 cout << "The grade is: " << grade << endl;
  
    cout << "\n\n\n";
    system("pause");
    return 0;
}

/* ===================== studentScore =====================
 This function calculates the letter grade for a score.
    Pre    the parameter score
    Post   Returns the grade
*/

char studentScore (int score)
{
 int  temp = score / 100;
 char grade;
 switch (temp)
    {
     case 100 : grade = 'A Plus!';
               break;
     case  90 : grade = 'A';
               break;
     case  80 : grade = 'B';
               break;
     case  70 : grade = 'C';
               break;
     case  60 : grade = 'D';
               break;
     default : grade = 'F';
    } // switch
 return grade;
}

WHAT AM I DOING WRONG HERE???

Code:

char grade = studentScore (score);

Code:

 int  temp = score / 100;

what's that for?

next time, give more details - what are u trying to do, what is it doing, along with all the errors and such.

You cannot make a single char be a string.

Use the C++ string type.

Code:

#include <string>

std::string grade;

grade = "A Plus!"; //notice the double quotes ("") instead of the ('')

Good Luck.
