    Default Grading Program

    Hey all, I'm a beginner programmer and I've been working to find the solution to my issue for a few hours now. What I am trying to do is have the user prompted for his/her name and 5 grades after that. The 5 grades will combine to make a letter grade using the "+" and "-" system. I have the first part done but I am really struggling trying to figure out how to get the appropriate letter grade to coincide with the number grade. This is what I have so far. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
    import java.util.Scanner;
     
    public class Lab1 {
    public static void main (String args []){
    	Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
    	System.out.println("Enter Student's Name ");
    	String studentName = input.nextLine();
    	System.out.println("Please Enter your Lab Grade, Participation Grade, Test 1 Grade, Test 2 Grade, and Final Exam Grade");
    	int Labs = input.nextInt();
    	if (Labs > 56)
    		System.out.println("Error: Your Labs Grade " + Labs + " is too high!");
    	int Participation = input.nextInt();
    	if (Participation > 4)
    		System.out.println("Error: Your Participation Grade " + Participation + " is too high!");
    	int Test1 = input.nextInt();
    	if (Test1 > 12)
    		System.out.println("Error: Your Test 1 Grade " + Test1 + " is too high!");
    	int Test2 = input.nextInt();
    	if (Test2 > 12)
    		System.out.println("Error: Your Test 2 Grade " + Test2 + " is too high!");
    	int FinalExam = input.nextInt();
    	if (FinalExam > 16)
    		System.out.println("Error: Your Final Exam Grade " + FinalExam + " is too high!");
    	int  FinalGrade = (Labs + Participation + Test1 + Test2 + FinalExam);
    	if (FinalGrade > 100)
    		System.out.println("Error: Your Final Grade " + FinalGrade + " is too high!");
    	char LetterGrade;
    	if (FinalGrade >= 97)
    		LetterGrade = 'A'
    	System.out.println("The final grade for " + studentName + "is an " + LetterGrade + "+");
    	else if (FinalGrade >= 93)
    		LetterGrade = 'A'
    	System.out.println("The final grade for " + studentName + "is an " + LetterGrade);
    	if (FinalGrade >= 90)
    		LetterGrade = 'A';
    	System.out.println("The final grade for " + studentName + "is an " + LetterGrade + "-");
    	if (FinalGrade >= 87)
    		LetterGrade = 'B';
    	System.out.println("The final grade for " + studentName + "is a " + LetterGrade + "+");
    	if (FinalGrade >= 83)
    		LetterGrade = 'B';
    	System.out.println("The final grade for " + studentName + "is a " + LetterGrade);
    	if (FinalGrade >= 80)
    		LetterGrade = 'B';
    	System.out.println("The final grade for " + studentName + "is a " + LetterGrade + "-");
    	if (FinalGrade >= 77)
    		LetterGrade = 'C';
    	System.out.println("The final grade for " + studentName + "is a " + LetterGrade + "+");
    	if (FinalGrade >= 73)
    		LetterGrade = 'C';
    	System.out.println("The final grade for " + studentName + "is a " + LetterGrade);
    	if (FinalGrade >= 70)
    		LetterGrade = 'C';
    	System.out.println("The final grade for " + studentName + "is a " + LetterGrade + "-");
    	if (FinalGrade >= 60)
    		LetterGrade = 'D';
    	System.out.println("The final grade for " + studentName + "is a " + LetterGrade);
    	if (FinalGrade <= 59)
    		LetterGrade = 'F';
    	System.out.println("The final grade for " + studentName + "is an " + LetterGrade);
    }
    }

    No problem. Just be sure to tell everyone where else the question has been posted so no one wastes time answering a question that has already been answered.
    Also if someone on one forum wants to see the answers that are on another forum, there is a link to where the answers are.

    Ok, I have figured most of this out, the only issue that I'm having now is that when it assigns a LetterGrade to the FinalGrade, it is listing all the scores below that LetterGrade as well.

    Ex: For a C, it is also saying that they received a C-, D, and F.

    Please post the full contents of console from when you execute the program and add some comments describing what is wrong with the output and show what the output should look like.

    The output is as follows:

    Enter Student's Name
    Greg
    Please Enter your Lab Grade, Participation Grade, Test 1 Grade, Test 2 Grade, and Final Exam Grade
    56 4 12 11 15
    The final grade for Greg is an A+
    The final grade for Greg is an A
    The final grade for Greg is an A
    The final grade for Greg is a B+
    The final grade for Greg is a B
    The final grade for Greg is a B-
    The final grade for Greg is a C+
    The final grade for Greg is a C
    The final grade for Greg is a C-
    The final grade for Greg is a D
    Total: 98

    For a 98 I need it only to say that the final grade is an A+..

    Can you post the code the prints out the line that is wrong?

    Check why the code prints " Total: 98" instead of "The final grade for Greg is a A+".

    Why are all of the other print outs in the format of: "The final grade for Greg is a ..."
