function GetAverage()
    {homework=parseFloat(document.getElementById('homeworkBox').value);
    labs=parseFloat(document.getElementById('labsBox').value);
    midterm=parseFloat(document.getElementById('midtermBox').value);
    exam=parseFloat(document.getElementById('examBox').value);
    
    average = (homework *.25) + (labs *.20) + (midterm * .25) + (exam*.30)
    document.getElementById('outputdiv') .innerHTML='Your Course Average=' + average
     if (grade< 60) {letterGrade='F';}
     }
    

Everything works fine but im trying to get it to say something like your letter grade is F or A ext below your course average any ideas on what im doing wrong.?
Would appreciate any help

Well you could write a couple of if statements so you could get different grade output. Perhaps you could write what exactly does not work in your case?

[Dormilich]

hint: and you would do that before the innerHTML assignment.

[woodsmc]

I still cant get it to work do I need to alter the inner html statement I feel I would need to but im not assigning another variable It's based on a condition.
And I moved the if statement to multiple different places and still am having no luck.

[Dormilich]

do you want the average or the grade (based on the average) to be displayed?

[woodsmc]

I already have the average being displayed I am trying to have a letter grade displayed also based on the average inputted.

[Dormilich]

is the grade to be displayed somewhere else or in the same element?

[woodsmc]

They are both to be displayed in the same element I assume that would be the way to do it if you wanted it in the same place.

[Dormilich]

you could do for instance elem.innerHTML = average + "/" + grade;

[woodsmc]

What is supposed to be there the if statement or something else? I got the impression from your earlier post my if statement needed to be somewhere else.

[Dormilich]

the if() statements would be useful to calculate the grade from the average.

[woodsmc]

I understand that I was wondering what you were implying went between the ""

[Dormilich]

???

[woodsmc]

elem.innerHTML = average + "/" + grade; what goes inbetween the "/" nothing I am trying is working

[Dormilich]

suppose we have an average of 60 and that were a grade of F, average + "/" + grade would become 60/F in the output. of course you can use any other strings inbetween those two values.

and average and grade are the variables holding those values.
