Using a variable length array, write a C program that asks the user to enter test scores. Then, the program should calculate the average, determine the lowest test score, determine the letter grade, and display all three.

Here is the C program :

#include<stdio.h>  // to use input output functions

   int main(){  //start of main() function body

   int n;  //to store the number of tests taken

   int test_scores[n], i;  //a variable length array test_score

   float sum=0,average;  //to store the sum and average of test scores

   int lowest;   //to store the lowest test score

   printf("Enter the number of tests taken :");//prompts user to enter number of test scores

   scanf("%d",&n); /  / reads the value of n from user

   printf("Enter test scores: ");  //prompts user to enter test scores

for(i=0; i<n; i++)  {  

 scanf("%d",&test_scores[i]);  //read the values of input test scores

 sum = sum + test_scores[i];   } //calculates the sum of the test scores by adding the values of test scores

        average=sum/n;  // compute the average by dividing sum of all test scores with the total number of test scores

               printf("Average is %.2f",average);  //displays the average

    printf("\nGrade is ");  // prints Grade is

    if (average >= 90) {  //if value of average is greater than or equal to 90

       printf("A");     }  //print the grade letter A

else if(average >= 80 && average < 90)  { //if value of average is greater than or equal to 80 and less than 90

 printf("B");  }   //print the grade letter B

else if(average>60 && average<80){ //if value of average is between 60 and 80

 printf("C");  }  //print the grade letter C

else if(average>40 && average<=60) {  //if value of average is greater than 40 and less than or equals to 60

 printf("D");  }  //print the grade letter D

else  {  //if the value of average is below 40

 printf("F");  }   //print the grade letter F

   lowest = test_scores[0];     //lowest points to the 1st element of test scores means the first input test score

   for (int j = 1; j < n;j++)     {  //loop iterates through the scores

       if (test_scores[j] < lowest)   {  // if the element at j-th index position of test_scores array is less than the element stored in the lowest variable

          lowest = test_scores[j];     }     } //then assign that element value of test_score to the lowest

     printf("\nLowest test score is:  %d.\n", lowest); } //displays the lowest test score

Explanation:

The program is well explained in the comments mentioned with each statement of the code.

The program prompts the user to enter the number of test scores as they are not already specified in the array because array test_scores is a variable length array which means its length is not fixed. The program then prompts the user to enter the test scores. The program then adds all the test scores and store the result in sum variable. Then it computes the average by dividing the value in sum variable to the number of test scores n. Then in order to determine the letter Grade the average value is used. The if else conditions are used to specify conditions in order to determine the Grade. Next the lowest score is determined by setting the value of lowest variable to the first element of the test_scores array. Then using for loop, the index variable j moves to each array element i.e. score and determines if the the value of element is less than that stored in the lowest variable. If the value positioned at j-th index of test_scores is less than that of lowest than this value is assigned to lowest. At last the lowest holds the minimum of the test scores.
