Help with calculation for final grade of student

[Braxtonmj]

i need help writing this program. i'm new and i need someone to check out these instructions and figure out how to write it. here is what i have , but it is not write can u help me?


The calculation for the final grade of a student is: homework score plus project score plus test score plus exam score. If the final grade is 70 or over the student is rated as PASS. If the final grade is less than 70 the student is rated as FAIL

Design a computer program to calculate the final grade of one or more students using the formula above. Determine if the student passed or failed. Display the student’s name, final grade, and PASS/FAIL rating..

Design the program so that it loops for any number of students, that is the program sequence needs to repeat for each set of data.

Some sample data are as follows:

Name homework project test exam

Mary 27 15 25 25

Pete 22 14 23 24

Bimbo 10 6 15 10





** this is what I written so far....









/* Project 2 student final grade */

import java.io.*;

import java.lang.*;

import java.text.*;

import java.util.*;

//Set up public class

public class Grade

{

//declare main() method

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException

{

//Declare data types

float name,homework,project,test,exam,FinalGrade;

int finalgrade = 70;

if (finalgrade ==70)

{

System.out.println("\n pass");

}else{

System.out.println("\n fail");

}


//set up input stream

Scanner readin = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.println("\n Enter 1 for student name , 2 for no more data");

choice = readin.nextInt();

while (choice <2)

{
if (choice ==1)
{

// student name here

//prompt for homework

System.out.println("\n\n enter score of homework");

//stream in homework and convert to float

homework = readin.nextFloat();

//prompt for project

System.out.println("\n\n enter score of project");

//stream in project and convert to float

project = readin.nextFloat();

// prompt for test

System.out.println("\n\n enter score of test");

// stream in test and convert to float

//Calculate results

Final Grade = (homework+project+test+exam);

//prepare data for out put display

System.out.print("\n\nThe results of the calcuations are\n\n\n");

System.out.println("the Final Grade is:\t\t" + (FinalGrade));


}// end 1st if

// input choice

}

choice = readin.nextInt();


}// end while loop

}// end main

}// end class

Ok, first of all, code tags and proper indentation makes people more likely to help you. Next, float name? Unless people are named 3,14 and 0,5431 I don't see how that would work. A good OOP approach would be to create a class called Student, with a String name (!), and int values for grades (unless they can have fractions of a grade, in that case floats are ok), with a method called calcFinalGrade() that returns the grade, and a boolean pass() method which returns true if the final grade is over 70.

can u right the code for me then explain it to me? im a noob

I don't mean to come across as harsh, but this problem is made for "noobs" to get a grasp on the basics. It just requires the addition of a few values ,a check and a loop. Try to do it yourself, and generally speaking, begging for homework is frowned upon.

!! your code is a mess !! its all out of order! why do you have an if statement at the top? why are you using floats!?

I suggest buying a book.

[Braxtonmj]

lol, ill fix it and show u guys. It could take a while because of my job.

Cute.

In a word -- no. No one is going to write this code for you and no one should.

Generally it's not the best idea to post your homework assignments on here and ask people to code them for you ;)
