Report Card Program (IF/ELSIF CONDITIONS and CASE STATEMENTS)

[Loomis]

What is it you are trying to achieve?
I'm trying to make a program that asks for a person's name, the names of four courses that she take and the mark she recieved for each course.
Then, the program should calculate the person's average to one decimal place and determine how many credits the person has earned and output an attractively designed report card.

What is the problem you are having?
The problem is that I can't seem to use the if/elsif conditions or a case statement to make the program output how many credits they've earned.

Describe what you have tried to solve this problem
This is what I have so far :

Turing:

if mark1 > 50 then     creditsEarned := creditsEarned + 1 elsif mark2 > 50 then     creditsEarned := creditsEarned + 1 elsif mark3 > 50 then     creditsEarned := creditsEarned + 1 elsif mark4 > 50 then     creditsEarned := creditsEarned + 1 end if

Well, it's obvious that it doesn't work correctly and the style is really bad.

Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long)
This is the whole program:

Turing:

var name, course1, course2, course3, course4 : string var mark1, mark2, mark3, mark4, sum : real var creditsEarned : int creditsEarned := 0 sum := 0 put "What is your full name?" get name : * put "What are four courses you take?" get course1, course2, course3, course4 put "What are the marks you have recieved for those courses?" get mark1, mark2, mark3, mark4 sum := sum + mark1 + mark2 + mark3 + mark4 if mark1 > 50 then     creditsEarned := creditsEarned + 1 elsif mark2 > 50 then     creditsEarned := creditsEarned + 1 elsif mark3 > 50 then     creditsEarned := creditsEarned + 1 elsif mark4 > 50 then     creditsEarned := creditsEarned + 1 end if put "Credits Earned: ", creditsEarned put "" put "" : 3, "Academic School" put "" put "Name: ", name put "" put "Course:" : 15, "Mark:" put "" put course1 : 15, mark1 put "" put course2 : 15, mark2 put "" put course3 : 15, mark3 put "" put course4 : 15, mark4 put "" put "Average: ", sum / 4 : 0 : 1

How can I make the program correctly calculate the credits earned and how can I make the report card design more attractive and the codes more user friendly?

Please specify what version of Turing you are using
Version 4.1.1

The problem is that you have grouped your if statements together; you will never reach branch two unless branch one failed, etc. What you want to have are separate, non-grouped, if statements for each mark. For example the way you did it was:

Turing:

if Mark1 > PassingGrade then     add one earned credit elsif Mark2 > PassingGrade then     add one earned credit end if

If you wanted to check all marks you would need to have separate if statements:

Turing:

if Mark1 > PassingGrade then     add one earned credit end if if Mark2 > PassingGrade then     add one earned credit end if ...

This way each mark is checked even if the first check comes true.

Oh, I completely understand! Thanks a bunch.
