I am completely stumped on this one. I am attempting to create a simple grade calculator. Yes this is a school assignment. However, there are things called deadlines, and my teachers make them impossible to meet, so I've already turned in my mostly-working program for grading. But I am a curious man and my teacher couldn't answer my question - so here I am.
Within my project everything works well; however, when printing my output the first student's name is never fully displayed. I cannot for the life of me even begin to understand how every other loop produces the name without issue, but the first iteration. What on earth have I done wrong?
I beleive that my issue is somewhere within my variable declarations or this for statement. Any help would be appreciated, and please feel free to critique. I won't learn any other way.
for (int m=0; m<numstudents; m++) {
printf("\n\n*****************\n\n***Report card***\n\n*****************");
printf("\nName of student: %s", namestudent[m]);
printf("\nPhysics: %.2f/100", physicsstudent[m]);
printf("\nChemistry: %.2f/100", chemistrystudent[m]);
printf("\nMath: %.2f/100", physicsstudent[m]);
total = physicsstudent[m]+chemistrystudent[m]+mathstudent[m];
realtotal = (total/300)*100;
printf("\nTotal: %.2f/300", total);
if(realtotal > 89) {
printf("\nYour letter grade: A");
} else if(realtotal > 79) {
printf("\nYour letter grade: B");
} else if(realtotal > 69) {
printf("\nYour letter grade: C");
} else if(realtotal > 49) {
printf("\nYour letter grade: D");
} else if((realtotal) < 50) {
printf("\nYour letter grade: F");
}
