I can't seem to get it working properly. Here's what I have thus far.

#include <string>
#include <iostream>

     int exam2;                                 //to hold Exam-2-Grade
     int homeworkavg;                            //to hold Homework-Average
     double average;                            //to hold the Fina-Exam-Grade
     char grade[2];                                //to hold the students letter

          cout<<"\n";
     }

     return 0;
}

what doesn't "work promperly" ? compiler errors? runtime errors? if yes, post them.

Ok, this is what I have so far. It compiles, It runs but it asks for the Average and that is the one thing I want it to figure out and input it into itself.

     int exam1;                                 //to hold Exam-1-Grade
     int exam2;                                 //to hold Exam-2-Grade
     int homeworkavg;                           //to hold Homework-Average
     double average;                            //to hold the Fina-Exam-Grade
     char grade;                                //to hold the students letter

         else if(avg >= 70)grade='C';

     //return 0;
 }

     EnterNumberOfStudents:

     if(!(iNo >= 0 && iNo <= 20))
          goto EnterNumberOfStudents;


     for(int j=0; j<iNo; j++)
     {
          Students[j].ReadRecord();
     }


     if(Student_t::numStudents > 0)

Well, without reading any further, delete those goto's!! Your instructor will probably remove credit for using goto. use while() or do - while() instead.

and please surround code with [ code ] and [ /code ] (remove spaces between brackets. That will make your code easier for others (and me) to read.

Did I not do this correctly?

int main(void)
{
finalgrade Students[20];
//int StudentCount = 0;
finalgrade::numStudents = 0;
int iNo;
EnterNumberOfStudents:
cout<<"Enter No of Students between(0 to 20): Enter 0 to Exit: ";
cin>>iNo;
Do{
EnterNumberOfStudents;
}
while (!(iNo >= 0 && iNo <= 20))
for(int j=0; j<iNo; j++)
{ Students[j].ReadRecord();
}

>>Did I not do this correctly?

what did your compiler say about it? (you forgot to put a semicolon at the end of the while statement. ) You might also add an error message inside the loop so that you don't wounder by the program won't accept the keyboard input.

In function `int main()':

83 `Do' undeclared (first use this function)

83 expected `;' before '{' token

Are the errors I'm receiving.

"do" is case sensitive.. you used a capital letter D.

Doh!

Ok, It looks as though I only have one more error to work around.

84 'EnterNumberOfStudents' undeclared (first use this function)

do{
EnterNumberOfStudents;
}while (!(iNo >= 0 && iNo <= 20));
for(int j=0; j<iNo; j++)
{
Students[j].ReadRecord();
}

}

EnterNumberOfStudents was your goto tag wasn't it? the compiler is telling you that it doesn't exist (because you've sensibly decided not to use the dreaded 'goto')

from your original code, I believe this is what you wanted to put inside your do-while loop...

cout<<"Enter No of Students between(0 to 20): Enter 0 to Exit";
cin>>iNo;

That was exactly the problem. Thank you so much.

When I run the program it's giving me

Final Grade: 1.11199e+292

And then that's it. So even though it's compiling now, I don't think it's doing what is intended.

I'll keep plugging at it and see if I can come up with something.
