hi guys

i'm a beginner in c++ and i have H.W to submit but i need some help

this is the question

Write a C-Program that reads five grades (Homework, Quizzes, Major1, Major2,
Final) for a number of students n (determined by the user).
o For each student
1- Calculates the total grade x: (Sum of the five grades)
2- Assign a letter grade (A+,A, B+, B, C+, C, D+, D, F) according to
the following rules :
Total Grade Letter Grade
95<= x <100 A+
90<= x < 94 A
85<= x < 89 B+
80<= x < 84 B
75<= x < 79 C+
70<= x <74 C
65<= x <69 D+
60<= x < 64 D
x<60 F
Print the total grade x and the letter grades
3- Calculate and print the number of students with each letter grade, the
format of the output must be like :
Letter Grade Number of students
------------------ --------------------------
A+ --
A -
B+ -
.
.
4- Calculate and print the max Total grade and the minimum Total grade

i solved #1 but there is a problem
i can solve 2,4 but 3 i need someone to explain it

#include<stdio.h>

int n,i  ;
double x,hw,q,m1,m2,f,sum  ;

printf("enter number of students:");
scanf("%d",&n);
printf("enter the grade of hw,q,m1,m2 and f:");
scanf("%lf %lf %lf %lf %lf",&hw,&q,&m1,&m2,&f);

for(i=1,i<=n,i++)
{
scanf("%lf",&x);
sum+=x ;
}
x= hw+q+m1+m2+f      ;
scanf("%lf",&x);
printf("x=%lf",x);
}

couldn't you just do something like

(Toggle Plain Text)

for(int i = 0; i < maxstudents; i++) std::cout << x << n << std::endl;

Cleaner of course. Use your imagination to make a table or something.

Make your Code more readable by structuring it properly, and put it in code tags, and your much more likely to get some help, also this maybe best suited for the C section rather than C++.

I can't help you with your code as I'm not too hot on printf or scanf as its more for C... that and also the format of your code is making my eyes bleed.

Hi. Your post should be in the C forum
Making your code look like this makes it much easier to read:

(Toggle Plain Text)

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
main()
{
	int n, i;
	double x, hw, q, m1, m2, f, sum;
	sum = 0;

	printf("Enter number of students: ");
	scanf("%d", &n);

	printf("Enter the grade of Homework, Quizzes, Major1, Major2 and Final: ");
	scanf("%lf %lf %lf %lf %lf", &hw, &q, &m1, &m2, &f);

	for(i = 1; i <= n; i++)
	{
		scanf("%lf",&x);
		sum+=x ;
	}
	x = hw + q + m1 + m2 + f;
	scanf("%lf",&x);
	printf("x = %lf\n",x);
}

Please read the "How to post a question" thread at the top of the C or C++ forum. And restructure your question so it looks readable.

If you want to impress your teacher (or maybe not...), you can do this for your first part:

(Toggle Plain Text)

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>

int main()
{
	int number = 0, current;
	double sum;

	char *gradenames[] =
	{
		"Homework", "Quizzes", "Major1", "Major2", "Final"
	};

	double grades[] =
	{
		0, 0, 0, 0, 0
	};

	printf("Enter number of students: ");
	if(scanf("%d", &number) != 1)
	{
		printf("IDIOT!\n");
		return 1;
	}

	for(current = 0; current < number; current++)
	{
		int t;
		sum = 0;
		printf("\nStudent #%d\n", current+1);
		for(t = 0; t < 5; t++)
		{
			printf("Enter the grade of %s: ", gradenames[t]);
			if(scanf("%lf", &grades[t]) != 1)
			{
				printf("IDIOT!\n");
				return 1;
			}
			sum += grades[t];
		}
		printf("Sum of student #%d is %.2lf\n\n", current+1, sum);
	}

	return 0;
}

Wouldn't flushing (fflush(stdout)) after the printf's that doesn't use '\n' be a good idea?

If it wrote to a file, I'd do that yes, but not normally. Btw '\n' doesn't flush the buffer, std::endl does. Flushing the stdin might be a good idea, but I'm not sure. DaWei or someoe else know?

You might consider flushing as a preemptive action. You will rarely find it necessary to flush to the display on a typical desktop-type system with a common multi-processing OS. Don't forget, though, that you may redirect stdout to something other than the display. If one mixes printf with cout in C++, one should investigate making sure they're synchronized.

I've had problems with printf writing to the screen and not flushing afterwards. As for '\n', I've read somewhere that it makes flushing in these cases unnecessary, but I don't know why and it may very well not be true.
