switch (grade)
{
case 'A':
cout << "the grade is A.";
break;
case 'B':
cout << "the grade is B.";
break;
case 'C':
cout << "the grade is C.";
break;
case 'D':
cout << "the grade is D.";
break;
case 'F':
cout << "the grade is F.";
break;
default:
cout <<"the grade is invalid.";
}

for this code, can some1 tell me how i can put the grades to numbers.
example: input grade .75
your letter grade is C

I don't think you can do it with a switch statement, first off, switch statements only work with integer values - so you can't use .75 and you can't use relational operators in switch statements either.

you could write a really long switch statement for every single percent value - or you could just write an if else statement -

if(grade > 90)
  cout << "The grade is A\n";
else if(grade > 80)
  cout << "The grade is B\n";

and so on..
