Here are my errors.

Ok, now I am getting the following error. Can't seem to figure this out. Help please.

My guess is it's these:

            if // score >= 55;
            if // score >= 65;
            if // score >= 75;
            if // score >= 85;

Comment out all four lines and see what happens.

[Miller98]

I thought it was
if // score >= 55;
if // score >= 65;
if // score >= 75;
if // score >= 85;
but I have no clue on how to fix it.

[MorphiusFaydal]

Comment out the damn lines, and it'll compile. They're incomplete if statements, so the compiler is choking on it.

[Miller98]

Not really sure what you are meaning?

Try this one:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std ;

int main()
{

    float score ; //Score
    char grade ; //Grade should be char if you want to store ASCII characters

    // read in total score

    cout << endl ;
    cout << "Enter total score (float, must be <= 100) : " ;
    cin    >> score ;

    if (score >= 85) 
        grade = 'A' ;
    else if (score >= 75) 
        grade = 'B' ;
    else if (score >= 65)
        grade = 'C' ;
    else if (score >= 55) 
        grade = 'D' ;
    else
        grade = 'F' ;
//commenting out using "//"
//            if // score >= 55;
//            if // score >= 65;
//            if // score >= 75;
//            if // score >= 85;


    // display the result

    cout << endl ;
    cout << "Your grade for course is: " << grade << endl ;

    return (0); // terminate with success
}

Thank you, letthecolorsrumble, I was about to say something that could have landed me in hot water.

lol, getting a little aggravated?

sometimes it helps to explain WHY those lines will not compile...

[MorphiusFaydal]

I thought I did. They're not complete if statements. I dunno how to make it any clearer.
