Answered New to vb, need some help

[qaisqais]

for homework i got this task, however i'm kinda lost (to be made as a console application)

Exam grades
Write a program that asks the user to enter a mark in the range 0 to 100 and outputs the corresponding exam grade, as in the following table:
Mark < 40 40–49 50–59 60–69 70–79 80–100
Grade U E D C B A

at first i tried making if statements for each mark value but then It didnt work out too well, now im thinking maybe I have to use an array ? I'm not really sure how to go about this one..

so far all ive got is

" Dim mark As Integer


Console.WriteLine("Exam Grades" & vbCrLf)
Console.WriteLine("Enter your mark out of 100: ")
mark = Console.ReadLine
"
Someone please help or point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated

You're on the right track and that code will get the grade into your 'mark' variable.

I would look at using a Select Case statement

        Select Case mark
            Case Is < 40
                Console.WriteLine("U")
            Case Is < 50
                Console.WriteLine("E")
                '...
        End Select

Select Case Statement

Thanks, I'll read up on those case statements and test it out.

Got it working perfectly with the select case function, thanks alot
