struct issues

TheJast (42)
so i'm working on a program for my cs 1 class, on structs. i need to input names and grades from a text file then create a switch to offer different options. i am having trouble turning the percent grades into letter grades(starts at line 75), and finding the average of the grades in a struct without adding each one individually(starting at line 146). any help would be much appreciated

this program is designed to read 20 studen names and test scores from a file and input them into 
student structures.  it will then assign a letter grade based on the test score and add that to 
each structure.  then a menu should be provide that offers options ranging from
- Printing all student names (in alphabetical order) and letter grades
- print all students names in grade order (i.e. all A's, all B's etc)
- Print the students name with the highest test score
- print the top 5 students with the highest test scores
- print the average of all test scores.

algorithm
1. create struct
2. create output file with student names and test scores
3. create main function that pulls data from file and inputs them into the struct.
4. create function that assigns letter grade to test score.
5. create function that averages all test scores.
6. create switch to provide options.

if (s[i].test_score >= 90)
	s[i].grade = 'A';
