    Default (Total Beginner): Any suggestions on how to do that?

    Ok so what I want to do is to make a "grade system " for students so that when I insert the mark (number) it will give me a string with a grade...like

    For mark 30 and below the grade will be "Fail"
    For mark 46 and above the grade will be "blablabla"
    for mark 60 and above the grade will be "ballhdfhsdh"
    and so on.... till 100

    The way I want to do that is by creating a method with the mark as a parameter and then use the method on my main to produce the results....

    How am I suppose to do that?
    Could you help me pls?

    Word to the wise- "pls" is not a word.

    What have you tried? Where are you stuck?

    I was once a newbie like you and I do not blame you for asking questions like you did. I have a few suggestions for you: First, a problem like that can be solved using a series of [if .... else ] statements which is quite longer to do and the second choice is to use [a switch ] statement which is simple but powerful. If you do not know what a switch or if statements are, use Google to find tutorials out there. I hope that this will help you explore more ways of solving the same problem. Take care
