Just started with c++ today. Can you please help me.

Question

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()

{
int a;
int b;
int c;
cout << "How much did you get for your previous test or exam?\n";
cin >> a;
cout << "What was it out of?\n";
cin >> b;
c = (a / b) * 100;
cout << "Your percentage was:" << c << "℅\n";
}

Answer 1

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()

{
int a = 6;
int b = 2;
int c;
cout << "How much did you get for your previous test or exam?\n";
// cin >> a;
cout << "What was it out of?\n";
// cin >> b;
c = (a / b) * 100;
cout << "Your percentage was: " << c << "% \n";
}

Answer 2

I've executed your code here, and it's everything ok. maybe the problem is with this '%' sign

Answer 3

What's wrong ?
The output ? if it's that, you may just add a space between the percent sign and the \n, like this: cout << "your percentage was: " << c << "% \n";
if you want a float number in the result, you can put the variable c with the data type float instead

Answer 4

but there aren't anything wrong

Answer 5

I'm guessing your problem is that for any result other than 100%, your output is 0%.
The simplest solution would be to change c's type to float and change the assignment to
c = a * 100.0 / b
otherwise you still have an integer division and c would be 0.0

Answer 6

it's not calculating percentage
