Question

q4)write a function called letter grade that has a type int parameter called points and returns the appropriate letter grade using a straight scale ( 90-100 is an A,80-89is a B and so on )

Answer 1

#include<iostream>
/*
write a function called letter grade that has a type int parameter
called points and returns the appropriate letter grade using a
straight scale ( 90-100 is an A,80-89is a B and so on )
*/

char letter_grade(int points)
{
// change points to be in the range 0..100 if it is not.
// thus if points<0, then return letter 'A'+10='K'
// and if point > 100, then return letter 'A'
if (points<=0) return 'A'+10;
if (points>=100) return 'A';
char& pt = (char) points;
// Now pt is in the range 0..99 and the grade is determined
// by the first digit of pt, which can be computed as pt/10.
// We need that if& pt/10 == 9, then the grade must be 'A'.
// Therefore the grade must be computed by the following formula:
char grade = 'A' + 9 - (pt/10);
return grade;
}


// test
int main()
{
int points;
