Thread: Grading Program

Hey all, I'm a beginner programmer and I've been working to find the solution to my issue for a few hours now. What I am trying to do is have the user prompted for his/her name and 5 grades after that. The 5 grades will combine to make a letter grade using the "+" and "-" system. I have the first part done but I am really struggling trying to figure out how to get the appropriate letter grade to coincide with the number grade. This is what I have so far. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

import java.util.Scanner;
 
public class Lab1 {
public static void main (String args []){
	Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
	System.out.println("Enter Student's Name ");
	String studentName = input.nextLine();
	System.out.println("Please Enter your Lab Grade, Participation Grade, Test 1 Grade, Test 2 Grade, and Final Exam Grade");
	int Labs = input.nextInt();
	if (Labs > 56)
		System.out.println("Error: Your Labs Grade " + Labs + " is too high!");
	int Participation = input.nextInt();
	if (Participation > 4)
		System.out.println("Error: Your Participation Grade " + Participation + " is too high!");
	int Test1 = input.nextInt();
	if (Test1 > 12)
		System.out.println("Error: Your Test 1 Grade " + Test1 + " is too high!");
	int Test2 = input.nextInt();
	if (Test2 > 12)
		System.out.println("Error: Your Test 2 Grade " + Test2 + " is too high!");
	int FinalExam = input.nextInt();
	if (FinalExam > 16)
		System.out.println("Error: Your Final Exam Grade " + FinalExam + " is too high!");
	int  FinalGrade = (Labs + Participation + Test1 + Test2 + FinalExam);
	if (FinalGrade > 100)
		System.out.println("Error: Your Final Grade " + FinalGrade + " is too high!");
	char LetterGrade;
	if (FinalGrade >= 97)
		LetterGrade = 'A'
	System.out.println("The final grade for " + studentName + "is an " + LetterGrade + "+");
	else if (FinalGrade >= 93)
		LetterGrade = 'A'
	System.out.println("The final grade for " + studentName + "is an " + LetterGrade);
	if (FinalGrade >= 90)
		LetterGrade = 'A';
	System.out.println("The final grade for " + studentName + "is an " + LetterGrade + "-");
	if (FinalGrade >= 87)
		LetterGrade = 'B';
	System.out.println("The final grade for " + studentName + "is a " + LetterGrade + "+");
	if (FinalGrade >= 83)
		LetterGrade = 'B';
	System.out.println("The final grade for " + studentName + "is a " + LetterGrade);
	if (FinalGrade >= 80)
		LetterGrade = 'B';
	System.out.println("The final grade for " + studentName + "is a " + LetterGrade + "-");
	if (FinalGrade >= 77)
		LetterGrade = 'C';
	System.out.println("The final grade for " + studentName + "is a " + LetterGrade + "+");
	if (FinalGrade >= 73)
		LetterGrade = 'C';
	System.out.println("The final grade for " + studentName + "is a " + LetterGrade);
	if (FinalGrade >= 70)
		LetterGrade = 'C';
	System.out.println("The final grade for " + studentName + "is a " + LetterGrade + "-");
	if (FinalGrade >= 60)
		LetterGrade = 'D';
	System.out.println("The final grade for " + studentName + "is a " + LetterGrade);
	if (FinalGrade <= 59)
		LetterGrade = 'F';
	System.out.println("The final grade for " + studentName + "is an " + LetterGrade);
}
}

I'm just trying to get some help Norm

Thanks for your help. Just making sure that people didn't think I was spamming and ignore my question. I've been stuck for hours now with the same issue.

Ok, I have figured most of this out, the only issue that I'm having now is that when it assigns a LetterGrade to the FinalGrade, it is listing all the scores below that LetterGrade as well.

Ex: For a C, it is also saying that they received a C-, D, and F.

The output is as follows:

Enter Student's Name
Greg
Please Enter your Lab Grade, Participation Grade, Test 1 Grade, Test 2 Grade, and Final Exam Grade
56 4 12 11 15
The final grade for Greg is an A+
The final grade for Greg is an A
The final grade for Greg is an A
The final grade for Greg is a B+
The final grade for Greg is a B
The final grade for Greg is a B-
The final grade for Greg is a C+
The final grade for Greg is a C
The final grade for Greg is a C-
The final grade for Greg is a D
Total: 98

For a 98 I need it only to say that the final grade is an A+..

Thanks Norm I figured it out. I really appreaciate your help
