    Exclamation students marks coding

    i want to calculate 5 student marks given marks for test 1 & test 2. the weightage for test1 is 15% and test2 is 25%.
    the coding will display the following status :

    PHP Code:
    Total Marks    Status
    0 – 20     Cannot sit 
    final examination
    21 – 25    Must sit the 3rd test
    26 – 35    Allow to sit the 
    final examination
    36 – 40    Excluded from sitting the 
    final examination 

    the result of coding should :

    PHP Code:
    •    Display the student nametotal marks and status for each student in the function named void Display(). 
    and here is my code :

    import java.io.*;
     
    public class Assigment1
    {
    	public static void main(String[] args)
    	{
    		String studName[] = {"Amad bin Abu", "Dollah bin Daud", "Milah bin Malek","Sarah bin Shamsuddin","Idris bin Ibrahim"};
    		int test1[] = {9,73,76,85,70};
    		int test2[] = {9,64,79,87,72};
    		int totalMarks[] ={0,0,0,0,0};
    		String[] status = new String [5];
     
    		CalculateMarks(test1,test2,totalMarks);
    		DetermineStatus(totalMarks,status);
    		Display(studName,totalMarks,status);
    	}
     
     
    	public static void CalculateMarks(int t1[],int t2[],int tmark[])
    	{
    		for(int i=0;i<marks.length;i++)
    		{
    			int mark = 0,test1,test2;
    			test1 = (15*test1[i])/100;
    			test2 = (25*test2[i])/100;
    			totalMark = test1[i] + test2[i];
    		}
    	}
     
     
    	public static void DetermineStatus(int[] tmark,String status[])
    	{
    		int totalMarks = 0;
     
    		for(int i=0;i<marks.length;i++)
    		{
    			if(totalMarks[i] >=0 && totalMarks[i] <=20)
    			{
    				status[i]="Cannot sit final exam";
    			}
    			if(totalMarks[i] >=21 && totalMarks[i] <=25)
    			{
    				status[i]="Must sit the 3rd test";
    			}
    			if(totalMarks[i] >=26 && totalMarks[i] <=35)
    			{
    				status[i]="Allow to sit the final exam";
    			}
    			if(totalMarks[i] >=36 && totalMarks[i] <=40)
    			{
    				status[i]="Excluded from sitting the final exam";
    			}
    	}
     
     
    	public static void Display(String studName[],int[] tmark,String status[])
    	{
    		for(int i=0;i<marks.length;i++)
    		{
    			System.out.print("\n Student Name : "+studName[i]);
    			System.out.print("\n Total Mark : "+tmark[i]);
    			System.out.print("\n Status : "+status[i]);
    		}
    		return;
    	}
    }

    What is on line 56?

    Make sure you check for missing semicolons, extra or missing brackets, etc.

    At a quick glance I see your trying to use var mark before you declare it here
    for(int i=0;i<marks.length;i++)
    		{
    			int mark = 0,test1,test2;
    			test1 = (15*test1[i])/100;
    			test2 = (25*test2[i])/100;
    			totalMark = test1[i] + test2[i];
    		}
