Arrays and Structs

Hello all. Building a program that function is to convert a numeric score to a letter grade. I am getting an error at line 71 saying that xcode expects a statement. What type of statement is needed because I would of thought that the if statement at line 70 was just that.

This doesnt do anything. Your if statement doesnt do anything.

If statements work like this. "If this, do that". And you have no "do that" part.

if (letterGrade == 'Z') // if this
    {
        printf ("Sorry. Score invalid.\n"); // do that
    }

But dont I still need a variation of lines 68 -73 to run the function?

You're using structs wrong. Thats not what structs do. You're creating an array, not sure why you have struct there aswell. Also, SIZE is undefined, Whats size? How big is size? You never say that.

Here's a playlist with a bunch of videos. Watch the ones on structs, arrays, if statements, anything you need basically :)

Oh I thought all I had to state was what I had on line 5.

oh whoopsie daysie... :D my bad. I never copy the top of the program when I try them out. Size is fine yes :D
