    Trying to calculate GPA

    Code:
    import
    Code:
     java.util.Scanner; 
    
    publicclass gpa {
    
       publicstaticvoid main(String[] args){
          double gpa=0;
          double input =0;
          String grade="";
          int classes =0;
          double fail =0;
          do
          {
             System.out.print("Enter Grade (n to quit): "); 
             Scanner sc =newScanner(System.in); 
              grade = sc.nextLine(); 
              grade = grade.toLowerCase(); 
              if(grade.equals("a"))
              {
                 input =4.0;
              }
              if(grade.equals("b"))
              {
                 input =3.0;
              }
              if(grade.equals("c"))
              {
                 input =2.0;
              }
              if(grade.equals("d"))
              {
                 input =1.0;
              }
              if(grade.equals("f"))
              {
                 fail =1;
              }
    
              gpa+=input;
              classes++;
          }while(grade!="n");
          System.out.print("GPA: "+ gpa +"   "); 
    
          gpa/=classes;
          if(gpa>=2&& classes >=4&& fail !=1)
          {
             System.out.print("Eligible");    
          }
          elseif(classes <4)
          {
             System.out.print("Ineligible. less than 4 classes"); 
          }
          elseif(gpa <2.0)
          {
             System.out.print("Ineligible. GPA is less than 2.0"); 
          }
          elseif(gpa >=2.0&& fail ==1)
          {
             System.out.print("Ineligible. GPA is above 2.0, but has an F");
          }
          elseif(gpa <2.0&& fail ==1)
          {
             System.out.print("Ineligible. GPA is below 2.0 and has F");
          }
       }
    
    }
    


    Here's what I need to be able to output:

    1. Eligible
    2. Ineligible, taking less than 4 classes
    3. Ineligible, gpa below 2.0
    4. Ineligible, gpa above 2.0 but has F grade (note: gpa >= 2.0)
    5. Ineligible, gpa below 2.0 and has F grade

    It keeps asking for input. How do I stop this? I tried converting grade into a char but that ended horribly for me. I think it might be a compiler error or something. Any help would be appreciated. Though helpful help would keep my blood pressure down.

    Asking on a Java forum might be a good idea.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
