Question
You’ll be prompting a student for grades and credits for courses taken. From
that, you will calculate a GPA.
This site: http://www.back2college.com/gpa.htm shows you how to calculate a GPA.
Keep prompting the student if they want to add more courses.
IMPORTANT NOTES!
- The course name is prompted for, but nothing is done with it.
- We are just using the grades A, B, C, D, and F so you won’t have to do so much typing!
- You will need to use the “set precision” command as shown in the book. Set it to “fixed” and “2”.
- You will need to use the “cin.ignore()” function as discussed earlier in the course.
==========
I am encountering an error within my coding and I can’t seem to pinpoint it. For the most part everything else is correct.
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main(){
int credits, gradePoints;
int totalGrade, totalCredits = 0;
string name, grade;
string response = “Yes”;
float gpa = 0.00;
double num;
while(response == “Yes”){
cout<<“Enter a course name: “;
cin>> name;
cin>> num;
cout<< name;
cout<<” “;
cout<< num;
cout<< endl;
cout<<“Enter number of credits: “;
cin>> credits;
cout<< credits;
cout<< endl;
cout<<“Enter your grade (A, B, C, D, F): “;
cin>> grade;
cout<< grade;
cout<< endl;
if(grade == “A”){
gradePoints = (4*credits);
totalGrade = totalGrade + gradePoints;
}
else if(grade == “B”){
gradePoints = (3*credits);
totalGrade = totalGrade + gradePoints;
}
else if(grade == “C”){
gradePoints = (2*credits);
totalGrade = totalGrade + gradePoints;
}
else if(grade == “D”){
gradePoints = (1*credits);
totalGrade = totalGrade + gradePoints;
}
else if(grade == “F”){
gradePoints = (0*credits);
totalGrade = ((totalGrade) + (gradePoints));
}
cout<<“Continue (‘Yes’ or ‘No’)? “;
cin>> response;
cout<< response;
cout<< endl;
totalCredits = ((totalCredits) + (credits));
gpa = ((totalGrade) / (totalCredits));
}
cout<<“Total grade points: ” << gradePoints << endl;
cout<<“Total credits attempted: ” << totalCredits << endl;
cout<<“Your GPA is ” << gpa << endl;
return 0;
}
