Small Basic Programming

Question: Average score

Write a program that uses loops to collect data and calculate the average score over a number of tests for a number of students.

The program should :

1. first ask the user to enter the number of students in the range of 1 to 10.

2. then the program asks the user to enter the number of tests (in the range of 1 to 5)

3. Then use a loop to collect the scores for those many tests for each student. The outer loop will iterate once for each student. The inner loop will iterate several times, once for each test. Each iteration of the inner loop will ask the user to enter the score for a test of a student.

3. After all iterations, the program should calculates and display the total scores and average score for each student.

The Output of the Code:

The Code Used:

TextWindow.Write("Enter the number of Students(range 1 to 10): ")'message to the user to enter the number of students

numOfStudents = TextWindow.Read() 'Taking the input

TextWindow.Write("Enter the number of Tests(range 1 to 5): ") 'message to the user for the number of tests.

numOfTests = TextWindow.Read() 'Taking the input

TextWindow.WriteLine("")

for student=1 to numOfStudents 'outside loop will iterate for every student

for test=1 to numOfTests 'inside loop will take all the test scores of a particular student

TextWindow.Write("Enter the test"+test+" score for student"+student+": ")

number[student][test] = TextWindow.Read() 'We are taking the input and storing it in a number array.

EndFor

TextWindow.WriteLine("")

EndFor

for student=1 to numOfStudents 'we iterate through the loop again to sum the test score's of individual students.

sumOfTest = 0 'This variable will store the sum of scores of one student at a time.

for test=1 to numOfTests

sumOfTest = sumOfTest + number[student][test] 'we are adding the scores of student to the sumOfTest.

EndFor

TextWindow.WriteLine("The total score of student"+student+": "+sumOfTest) 'total score of the student

'the totalScore when divided by the number of tests will give us the average.

TextWindow.WriteLine("The average score of student"+student+": "+sumOfTest/numOfTests)'The average

TextWindow.WriteLine("")

EndFor
