trouble with program

[np2100]

I am still just a beginner and i made this average program. It worked out just fine. THen i decided I wanted to make it say like the grade you got such as an A+ or C. Anyway after I add all the grades and divide them by the number of grades I want to store the average as a variable "average" and then use the if/else statements. Any help will be appreciated.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    system("TITLE Averager");
    system("COLOR 2f");
    int gradea;
    int gradeb;
    int gradec;
    int graded;
    int gradee;    
    int gradef;
    int average;
    
    cout<<"Please input your 5 test grades for an average\n";
    
    cout<<"Please input your first test grade: ";
    cin>>gradea;
    
    cout<<"Please input your second test grade:";
    cin>>gradeb;
    
    cout<<"Please input your third test grade: ";
    cin>>gradec;
    
    cout<<"Please input your fourth test grade: ";
    cin>>graded;
    
    cout<<"Please input your fifth test grade: ";
    cin>>gradee;
    
    cout<<"Please input your sixth test grade: ";
    cin>>gradef;
    
    cout<<"Your average grade is: "<<(gradea + gradeb + gradec + graded + gradee + gradef)/6<<endl;
    
    if ( > 97.5)
    cout<<"You got an A+";
    
    system("pause");
    return 0;
}

So what's the problem? (besides your bad code)

I know my code is bad however my problem is that after i average the grades i want to store that average as a variable. Ive tried doing (gradea + gradeb + gradec + graded + gradee + gradef)/6= average and cin>>average but i cant it doesnt work. Any alternatives??

cout<<"Your average grade is: "<<(gradea + gradeb + gradec + graded + gradee + gradef)/6<<endl;
if ( > 97.5)
cout<<"You got an A+";

try this

int average;
average = (gradea + gradeb + gradec + graded + gradee + gradef)/6;
cout << "Your average grade is: "<< average << endl;
 if (average  > 97.5)
    cout<<"You got an A+";

Good Luck!

Basic rule: Left Hand Side (LHS) is assigned the Right Hand Side (RHS). So, your average computation must be

average = (gradea + gradeb + gradec + graded + gradee + gradef)/6;

Further, since your grades and you divisor are all of type int, the result of the division will be of type int. You will not get a fractional value. Change the divisor to 6.0, and you will get a fractional value. Variable average must be declared as a floating point type, either float or double.

Now that you have an average, your statement to display the grade:

if ( > 97.5)
    cout<<"You got an A+";

can be corrected. As it stands, what is being compared to 97.5? Your compiler should have given an error on that line. Pay attention to the error and warning messages.
