Stuck in condition

replace your while condition with this one, and add the char confirm and char yes in variable declaration.

It's been years since I did c++/c hoping there shouldnt be any syntax errors

Cheers!

char confirm = 'y';
char yes = 'y';
          while(score != -1)
          {
             cout << "Next score (-1 to stop):";
            cin >> score;
            if(score>=100)
            {
                 cout<<"Is the score correct?"<<endl;
                 cin>>confirm;
                 if(confirm == yes)
                 {
                        totalPoints +=score; 
                 }
                cout<<"score not added"<<endl;
           }
}

I tried but getting errors
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
      int score = 0;
        char confirm = 'y';
        char yes = 'y';
      int totalPoints = 0;
      char grade = ' ';
      cout << "First score (-1 to stop):";
      cin >> score;
      while(score != -1)
      {
            cout << "Next score (-1 to stop):";
            cin >> score;
            if(score>=100)
            {
                 cout<<"Is the score correct?"<<endl;
                 cin>>confirm;
                 if(confirm == yes)
                  {
                  totalPoints +=score;
                  }
                      cout<<"score not added"<<endl;
            }
                  cout << "Next score (-1 to stop):";
            cin >> score;
      }
      if(totalPoints >=315)
            grade = 'A';
      else if(totalPoints >= 280)
            grade = 'B';
      else if(totalPoints >=245)
            grade = 'C';
      else if(totalPoints >=210)
            grade = 'D';
      else
            grade = 'F';
      cout << "Total Points earned:" << totalPoints << endl;
      cout << "Grade:" << grade << endl;
      system("pause");
      return 0;
}      

what errors you get?

There is no errors but it dont shows the grade

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
      int score = 0;
      int totalPoints = 0;
      char grade = ' ';
      char confirm = ' ';
      char yes = 'y';
      cout << "First score (-1 to stop):";
      cin >> score;
while(score != -1)
      {
            cout << "Next score (-1 to stop):";
            cin >> score;
            if(score>=100)
            {
                 cout<<"Is the score correct?"<<endl;
                 cin>>confirm;
                 if(confirm == yes)
                  {
                  totalPoints +=score;
                  }
              }
              else
                {
                    cout<<"score not added"<<endl;

                }
                  cout << "Next score (-1 to stop):";
            cin >> score;
      }

      if(totalPoints >=315)
            grade = 'A';
      else if(totalPoints >= 280)
            grade = 'B';
      else if(totalPoints >=245)
            grade = 'C';
      else if(totalPoints >=210)
            grade = 'D';
      else
            grade = 'F';
      cout << "Total Points earned:" << totalPoints << endl;
      cout << "Grade:" << grade << endl;
      system("pause");
      return 0;
}      

Thanks a lot.

Right,
I missed out some checks.

Now you can run the code provided.
TO confirm you need to enter only y
other than y it will not add up the score. Give it a go :)

// test.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//

#include "stdafx.h"




#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
      int score = 0;
      char confirm = 'y';
      char yes = 'y'; 
      int totalPoints = 0;
      char grade = ' ';
      cout << "First score (-1 to stop):";
      cin >> score;
      while(score != -1)
      {

            if(score>=100)
            {
                 cout<<"Is the score correct?"<<endl;
                 cin>>confirm;
                 if(confirm == yes)
                  {
                  totalPoints +=score;
                  }
				 else
				 {
					 cout<<"score not added"<<endl;
				 }
                      
            }
			else
			{
				 totalPoints +=score;
			}
            cout << "Next score (-1 to stop):";
            cin >> score;
      }
      if(totalPoints >=315)
            grade = 'A';
      else if(totalPoints >= 280)
            grade = 'B';
      else if(totalPoints >=245)
            grade = 'C';
      else if(totalPoints >=210)
            grade = 'D';
      else
            grade = 'F';
      cout << "Total Points earned:" << totalPoints << endl;
      cout << "Grade:" << grade << endl;
      system("pause");
      return 0;
}
