c++ doubt, need help with debugging

c++ doubt

i have written a program to accept input from the
user and calculate grades (both numeric and letter) for an English, math, or
science student. but when i compile it there is no error,but i'm not able to enter the mark's, because when i type yes, i get a different output, can anyone please tell me what's wrong in the program???

Re: c++ doubt

Hi Joe1986,
This will give you a start I hope, it seem to run OK on VisualC 6. You are mixing standard strings with char strings and the compiler does not seem to like it. You also missed a break statement out of your switch function.

Re: c++ doubt

thanks a lot for your help..............there's one more problem ,after the grade gets calculated, when i need to calculate another grade if i press "yes" the cursor get's freezed.......................i tried adding a while loop at the end of the code but no success............is there a way i can make the code calculate more than one grade.............i'll explain the logic
Once the grade get's calculated a question is asked "do you wanna calculate more grades" if yes your again asked what type of student if no "THANKS FOR USING THE GRADE CALCULATION PROJECT!!!!"

Re: c++ doubt

i did sum modification in the formula and the grade's are gttin calculated perfectly, here's wht i tried doin.

FINALGRADE =((ENG_MIDTERM_PER*midtermgrade)+(ENG_FINALEXAMINATION_PER*finalexaminationgrade)+(ENG_RESEARCH_PER*researchgrade)+(ENG_PRESENTATION_PER*presentationgrade))*4;

FINALGRADE=((MATH_MIDTERM_PERCENTAGE*midtermgrade)+(MATH_FINALEXAM_PERCENTAGE*finalexaminationgrade))*2;

FINALGRADE=((SCIENCE_MIDTERM_PERCENTAGE*midtermgrade)+(SCIENCE_FINALEXAM_PERCENTAGE*finalexaminationgrade)+(SCIENCE_RESEARCH_PERCENTAGE*researchgrade))*3;

thanks a lot for your help the code work's very well!!!!i realized the mistake i had made in the while loop!!!

 

[DrBob13]

Re: c++ doubt

Hi Joe,
Glad all is working ok now.
Are you sure that the *2, *3 and *4 multipliers are needed at the end of the lines because in my version it always returns an A grade with those in place as the totals come out at over 100% for any realistic scores every time and your grade analyis does the work on values from 0 t0 100% only.
Check that out and you are there I think.
Cheers
Bob.

 

[joe1986]

Re: c++ doubt

hi BOB,
i'm sorry, i forgot to tell you everything,that the program is required to calculate mark's out of 100, as you can see in the if statement the condition's are given that if it is above 93 the grade given is "A", less than 85 to 93 "B" is given and so on........... so when i was using the formula FINALGRADE =((ENG_MIDTERM_PER*midtermgrade)+(ENG_FINALEXAMINATION_PER*finalexaminationgrade)+(ENG_RESEARCH_PER*researchgrade)+(ENG_PRESENTATION_PER*presentationgrade)) i was gttin GRADE "F" for whatever values i entered because the values got added and somehow got divided (i don't know how) , i'll give you an example.....
FOR MATHS: if i entered 45 for one entry, and 45 for the next entry i used to gt 45 as the answer and the grade was "F"..........................so i tried sum variation like if there were 4 entries i tried multiplyin by 4, if there are 3 entries i tried multiplyn by 3 and for 2 entries i multiplied it by 2 and so i ended up gttin the RIGHT grades.................BUT I REALLY wanna thank you again for guiding me!!!
