Kindly debug the following code

Question

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
int total,grade counter,grade,average;
total=0;
grade counter=1;
while(grade counter<=3)
{
cout<<"enter grade";
cin>>grade;
grade counter=grade counter+1;
}
average=total/3;
cout<<average;
return 0;
}

Answer 1

Can't have spaces in variable names.

Answer 2

And you ask for input, but don't use it.

Answer 3

You have to initialize all your values:
int grade_counter=1;
int grade = 0;
int average = 0;
int total = 0;

Answer 4

It is printed every time the loop runs. You don't use line ends so it looks odd.

Answer 5

Hint: average = 0/3

Answer 6

Answer 7

//can you plz compile the code and verify it..
//i still not getting acurate result...
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
int grade_counter=1;
int grade;
int average;
int total ;
while(grade_counter <=3)
{
cout<<"enter grade";
cin>>grade;
total=total+grade;
grade_counter=grade_counter+1;
}
average=total/3;
cout<<average;
return 0;
}

Answer 8

great it make sense...
getting accurate results..

but why it shows
enter gradeenter gradeenter gradeenter as a o/p after compiling
rather than it should show "average"

Answer 9

//its my final code that is working as i wish

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
int grade_counter=1;
int grade=0;
int average=0;
int total=0 ;
while(grade_counter <=3)
{
cin>>grade;
total=total+grade;
grade_counter=grade_counter+1;
}
average=total/3;
cout<<"average="<<average;
return 0;
}
