What is the best way to represent range of number...

[zoe]

Hi, I am new to JAVA and I am trying to write a simple program for a class I have, the one thing I am stuck on (and maybe I am just over-analyzing) is I have to calculate grades.

For example, B = 79%-89% I am thinking that I should use something like this (in pseudo code):

Code:

if iFinalScore >79 && <89 then cFinalGrade=B

I am not sure if this is the correct way to implement the "and" operator, or if it will work at all any thoughts?
Thanks.

This can be used if you want the final grade to be stored as a char.

Code:

char finalGrade;
int grade;
if(grade>=0 && grade<=69)finalGrade=='F';
else if(grade>=70 && grade<=79)finalGrade=='C';
else if(grade>=80 && grade<=89)finalGrade=='B';
else 
finalGrade=='A';

Or as a string.

Code:

StringfinalGrade;
int grade;
if(grade>=0 && grade<=69)finalGrade="F";
else if(grade>=70 && grade<=79)finalGrade="C";
else if(grade>=80 && grade<=89)finalGrade="B";
else 
finalGrade="A";
