    Default Student Grading

    So i am having trouble with this program. When i run it in the terminal, it asks for the student mark and the number of assesments but doesn't actually output anything. I have a feeling i'm not outputting something but i can't see where, I don't think it is the validate Input part as i did it exactly the same way as i did with my previous program and that worked perfectly.

    import io.*;
    public class studentGrades
    {
    public static void main( String [] args)
     {
     double studMark, numAsses, finalMark;
     String grade = "";
     
     studMark = ConsoleInput.readDouble("Enter the Student's Mark");
     numAsses = ConsoleInput.readDouble("Enter the number of Assesments completed");
     finalMark = Math.floor(studMark);
     
      if ( validInput(studMark, numAsses))
      {
       grade = calcCase ( studMark, numAsses, finalMark);
      }
      new String("The student's grade is " + grade);
      System.exit(0);
     }
    private static boolean validInput( double studMark, double numAsses)
     {
     boolean isValid;
     isValid = true;
     
      if ( studMark < 0.0 || studMark > 100.0)
      {
       isValid = false;
       System.out.println("Student mark must be between 0 and 100");
      }
      if ( numAsses < 0.0 || numAsses > 5.0)
      {
       isValid = false;
       System.out.println("Number of Assesments must be between 0 and 5");
      }
     return isValid;
     }
    private static String calcCase ( double studMark, double numAsses, double finalMark)
     {
      String finalGrade = "";
     switch ( (int)numAsses)
      {
      case 0:
             finalGrade = new String("DNA");
      break;
      case 1: case 2: case 3: case 4:
               if (studMark < 50.0)
               {
                    finalGrade = new String("DNC- " + studMark);
               }
      break;
      case 5:
              if (studMark < 50.0)
               {
                    finalGrade = new String("F- " + studMark);
               }
              else
               {
                    finalGrade = new String(finalMark + "-" + studMark);
               }
      break;
      }
      return finalGrade;
     }
    }

    Also, you are not the first person to ask about this assignment. Some of your classmates must be on here too. Try a forum search.

    Mostly, I'd follow the guidelines and try to work through it, asking questions in the way outlined as you go.
