Default Need help populating a variable and adding the inputs. - 11-02-2011, 06:54 PM

Ok, so I'm trying to make a character average some grades that a user inputs. So I created a method for computeAverage. But I'm having a little trouble with the user inputs. My average is only use the last user input in the equation and I don't know how to a)store the ALL the inputs the user gives me for his/her grades, b)add those together so I can divide.

Here is a screenshot of what I have so far, I'll also upload my world.





Any help? Thanks

This is what is happening, let's assume I have 3 grades :

Enter your grades?
User enters say : 87
Now grade = 87.

Enter your grades?
User enters say : 98.
Now grade = 98<--------Notice how 87 was overrided.

Enter your grade?
User enters say : 85.
Now grade = 85.<--------Again see how the computer did not store the previouse grades

There are two ways that you can fix this, I believe the easiest way is to just add.

So change
Code:
grade set value to ask user for a number question=Enter grades?
To :
Code:
grade set value to grade + ask user for a number question=Enter grades?
Now we are adding the previous value of grade to the newly entered value.

Hope this helps.
