Simple mistake but stuck
 
The code works but the percentages dont work correctly. They register has 0. A litle help needed please


Code:
/* Header.c */
#include <stdio.h>

//////////////// Prototypes /////////////////////////////////////////////////////

void OutputHeader();

void Summary();


//////////////////////// Global Variables //////////////////
float StudentsName, DOB, Test1, Test2, Test3, Test4, Average, Grading, SumOfMarks, Exit;

char Flag;
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

void main (void)
{
        OutputHeader();

        Flag=1;
        scanf("%s",Name);

                        while (Flag !=0)
                {
                        Student();
                        Grades();
                        y++;

Can you provide a bit more as to what is not working as looking at the total code seems not what I am enjoying without knowing what its suppose to do and what its doing.

Void Summary.
printf("Percentage of students with a D:> %d\n", DStudent);
printf("Percentage of students with a M:> %d\n", MStudent);
printf("Percentage of student with a P:> %d\n", PStudent);
printf("Percentage of students with a F:> %d\n", FStudent);
}


It should display the percentage of students with that grade. But it displays 0

Re: Simple mistake but stuck
 
Any percentage less than 100 is a fraction. Are you trying to print that fraction as an integer? Just curious, looks that way from the snippet.

Re: Simple mistake but stuck
 
I'm trying to print the percentage of how many students got that grade.

e.g

If 4 students took the exams
2 got Pass
2 got Merit

Then Pass would be 50%
Merit would be 50%

I hope this clears things up.

Re: Simple mistake but stuck
 
int Students = 4;
int Pass = 2;

Pass/Students = 2 / 4 = ? (Zero, that's what. These are integers.)

I hope this clears things up.

DStudent=100*(Distinction/TStudent);

Try DStudent=(100*Distinction)/TStudent;

Re: Simple mistake but stuck
 
That will work, so long as the category is at least 1% of the students. Four distinctions out of a thousand students would still fail, though. I would convert the category and the number of students to floats, do the division, and convert back. I would definitely multiply first, as Shabbir shows, since a larger numerator will usually result in more accuracy. Any piddling decimal fractions that occur will be truncated on the reconversion to int, or you could round.

Thank you for clearing that up. Much appreciated.
