JavaScript

Below are my code, not sure why I can’t pass:

function studentMsg(totalScores, studentScore) {
  if (getGrade(studentScore) !== "F") {
    return "Class average: " + getAverage(totalScores) + ". " + "Your grade: " + getGrade(studentScore) +  ". " + " You passed the course.";} else{
    return "Class average: " + getAverage(totalScores) + ". " + "Your grade: " + getGrade(studentScore) + ". " + " You failed the course.";
    }
}

Hi,
Thanks for your notes. Noted on create new topic. The code you provided unfortunately didn’t work, but I did use the spacing issues to ask chatGPT revising it based on the issue and it worked! Post the passed code below for future reference. Thanks again!

Glad you figured it out but for future reference, please don’t post any code solutions on the forum. (But you can say what you did to fix something without posting the solution)

Adding modified code here:

function studentMsg(first, second) {
  if (put your condition here) {
    return "can't post solution";
} else {
    return "I messed up spacing and formatting before and after else";
    } 
}

Hi,
I have done the logic and my console logs looks OK, however it looks like it runs 3 test and fails me as there shall be just 2? I am I right?

Your function call of

studentMsg([92, 88, 12, 77, 57, 100, 67, 38, 97, 89], 37)

should return the following message:

"Class average: 71.7. Your grade: F. You failed the course."

Your function call of

studentMsg([56, 23, 89, 42, 75, 11, 68, 34, 91, 19], 100)

should return the following message:

"Class average: 50.8. Your grade: A++. You passed the course."

Your

studentMsg

function should return the correct message based on the student’s score and the class average.
// tests completed
// console output

Class average: 71.7. Your grade: F.  You failed the course. 
Class average: 50.8. Your grade: A++.  You passed the course. 
Class average: 70.25. Your grade: A. You passed the course.
