Thread: how to count and print asterisk.

 int ct=0;
    BufferedReader input=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
    do {
 
 
    System.out.println("Enter Grade:");
    int grade=0;
    grade = Integer.parseInt(input.readLine());
 
    ct++;
 
// start
 
    if(grade==0 || grade==1 || grade==2 || grade==3 || grade==4 || grade==5 || grade==6 || grade==7 || grade==8 || grade==9 || grade==10)
    { // missing statement and agruments} 
    else if(grade==11 || grade==12 || grade==13 || grade==14 || grade==15 || grade==16 || grade==17 || grade==18 || grade==19 || grade==20)
    {}
    else if(grade==21 || grade==22 || grade==23 || grade==24 || grade==25 || grade==26 || grade==27 || grade==28 || grade==29 || grade==30)
    {}
    else if(grade==31 || grade==32 || grade==33 || grade==34 || grade==35 || grade==36 || grade==37 || grade==38 || grade==39 || grade==40)
    {}
    else if(grade==41 || grade==42 || grade==43 || grade==44 || grade==45 || grade==46 || grade==47 || grade==48 || grade==49 || grade==50)
    {}

    else if(grade==61 || grade==62 || grade==63 || grade==64 || grade==65 || grade==66 || grade==67 || grade==68 || grade==69 || grade==70)
    {}
    else if(grade==71 || grade==72 || grade==73 || grade==74 || grade==75 || grade==76 || grade==77 || grade==78 || grade==79 || grade==80)
    {}
    else if(grade==81 || grade==82 || grade==83 || grade==84 || grade==85 || grade==86 || grade==87 || grade==88 || grade==89 || grade==90)
    {}
    else if(grade==91 || grade==92 || grade==93 || grade==94 || grade==95 || grade==96 || grade==97 || grade==98 || grade==99 || grade==100)
    {}
    else { System.out.println("Error only 0-100!Going back to Menu"); menus(); } 
 
//end of else if conditions
 
 
        }  while(ct<=9);// do bracket;
 
 
   System.out.println("00-10"+asterisk+"");
   System.out.println("11-20"+asterisk2+"");
   System.out.println("21-30"+asterisk3+"");
   System.out.println("41-50"+asterisk4+""); // display grades and count using asterisk(*)
   System.out.println("61-70"+asterisk5+"");
   System.out.println("71-80"+asterisk6+"");
   System.out.println("81-90"+asterisk7+"");
   System.out.println("91-100"+asterisk8+"");
}

My problem is that i don't know how to count it after the input of grades and print asterisk on each condition.

run:
Enter Grade:
79
Enter Grade:
89
Enter Grade:
86
Enter Grade:
45
Enter Grade:
67
Enter Grade:
81
Enter Grade:
55
Enter Grade:
99
Enter Grade:
100
Enter Grade:
43

00-10 0
11-20 0
21-30 0
31-40 0
41-50 2 // 2 must be **
51-60 1 // 1 must be *
61-70 1 // 1 must be *
71-80 1 // 1 must be *
81-90 3 // 3 must be ***
91-100 2 // 2 must be **

Then use the println() method to move to the next line.

how can i convert an integer of 3 to a three asterisk(***) ?

inside the do while loop or i will create a new one?

mine look like this. the asterisk must start from bottom and align with respective numbers
