Example
Enter points on test: 38
Enter points possible: 49
You got 77.6 percent
That is a C

Answer 1

I forgot to mention we are using Java

Answer 2

The Netbeans IDE runs only Java, so there is no ambiguity.

You need a nested if statement, which should be indented properly.

I will give an example of how the if statement should work, you will have to rework the numbers to suit your teacher's question.


// Declare score, maxScore as integer
// declare grade as character
// declare percent as double
// enter values of scores by user
// if maxScore==0, reenter maxScore
// now calculate percentage
percent=score/maxScore*100;
if (percent>=90){
grade='A';
} else if (percent>=80){
grade='B';
} else {
grade='F';
}
// output letter grade to 1 place of decimal
// output letter grade
