I Need Help With This Case Statement!

[master-awesome]

My question is how do I make the case statement less than 100? That's all!

Quote:

% A sequence of six tests, all scored out of 100, are to be given different
% weighting in determining a total mark. Write a program that first reads a
% value of testNumber and score. Using a case statement it computes and then
% prints the appropriate value of weightdScore, using the weightings given in
% the following table.

% Declared Variables
var n1 : real
var n2 : real
var n3 : real
var n4 : real
var n5 : real
var n6 : real
var answer1 : int
var answer2 : real
n1 := .1
n2 := .2
n3 := .2
n4 := .15
n5 := .15
n6 := .2

% User Response

put "Write down your test from 1-6: "..
get answer1

put "What was the score on that test: "..
get answer2

% Test Score Calculations
case answer1 of
label 1 : put "The score of ",round (answer2)," on test 1 gives a weighted score of ",answer2 * n1,"."
label 2 : put "The score of ",round (answer2)," on test 2 gives a weighted score of ",answer2 * n2,"."
label 3 : put "The score of ",round (answer2)," on test 3 gives a weighted score of ",answer2 * n3,"."
label 4 : put "The score of ",round (answer2)," on test 4 gives a weighted score of ",answer2 * n4,"."
label 5 : put "The score of ",round (answer2)," on test 5 gives a weighted score of ",answer2 * n5,"."
label 6 : put "The score of ",round (answer2)," on test 6 gives a weighted score of ",answer2 * n6,"."
end case

If someone was to stop you on the street and ask the same question, it's likely that you wouldn't know what was being talked about. It's not a good question. The template questions of what are you trying to achieve? and what did you do to try to solve this problem? are useful in two ways -- they prompt you to think about the problem, likely getting you closer to the answer, and they give us more context to understand the problem.

That is, a "case statement" doesn't have a numeric value, so I don't understand what it would mean for it to be more, less, or equals to 100.

Okay I was just checking if the case statement can be less than 100, but I don't think this really matters with the teacher. Thanks for letting me know!
