Problem with C coding

[SANDESH49]

Hello everyone.

I am learning C and am stucked somewhere in the code. Basically I want to assign the marks to the grade. However my output comes out to be totally different from what I want. Here is my code:

# include<stdio.h>  
int main ()  
{  
    int total = 0, marks = 0, count = 1;  
    float avg = 0;  
    printf( "Enter the marks obtained or -1 to quit:\n");  
    scanf( "%d", &marks );  
    while ( marks != -1 )  
    {  
        total = total + marks;  
        count ++;  
        printf( "Enter the marks obtained or -1 to quit:\n");  
        scanf( "%d", &marks );  
    }  
    if( count != 0 )  
    {  
       avg = (float) total/count;  
       printf( "Marks in grades are:  %.2f ", avg);  
     }  
     else if ( avg >= 80.00 )  
           printf( "Marks is in grades 'A'.\n");  
     else if( avg < 80.00 && avg >= 70.00 )  
           printf( "Marks is in grades 'B'. \n");  
     else if( avg < 70.00 && avg >= 60.00 )  
           printf( "Marks is in grades 'C'. \n");  
     else if( avg < 60.00 && avg >= 40.00 )  
           printf( "Marks is in grades 'D'.\n");  
     else  
           printf( "\nMarks is in grades 'F'. \n");  
           printf( "You enter: %d times\n", count);  
           return 0;  
}

Any comments

Basically the problem is that you are calculating avg value in the if statement and testing it in the else if portion.

If the if statement is true then the compiler will execute it and the other statements (else if or else) will be skipped. On the contrary, if the if statement is false then the Else if statement is executed.

So keep this in mind and modify your code accordingly.

Thanks unlimitedtech for your help. I modified my code as you suggested me and got the result.

Thanks once again.
