The following lists the number of students earning each letter grade:

Number of A's = 4
Number of B's = 4
Number of C's = 3
Number of D's = 2
Number of F's = 2


The following program generates 3 random numbers, then averages them.

The average of 22 43 49 is 38

I think reason you are not getting right results because you are dividing character type by double. That's the only logical error.

Basically, you need to create another variable that is going to sum all your subjects or averages and then calculate. The formula that you use is incorrect.
