My new assignment is to write a program to get a users name, have them input ten grade (int, number format), then convert those to letter grade format, and return all numeric and letter grades back to the user with an average as well. I wrote a test program to see if the first int and string would work before writing the entire code, but this is my first does of nested if statements, and I know there has to be a more efficient way to do this other than how I've built it. Can anyone tell me what I did wrong here and what the best practice is for such a program?

<code>#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;


int main (){

int grade1, grade2, grade3, grade4, grade5, grade6, grade7, grade8, grade9, grade10;
string username, letter1, letter2, letter3, letter4, letter5, letter6, letter7, letter8, letter9, letter10;

cout << "What is your user name? " << endl;
cin >> username;

cout << "What are the ten grades you received this semester?" << endl;
cin >> grade1;
cin >> grade2;
cin >> grade3;
cin >> grade4;
cin >> grade5;
cin >> grade6;
cin >> grade7;
cin >> grade8;
cin >> grade9;
cin >> grade10;


if ( 69 < grade1 <= 79)
letter1 = C;
if ( 79 < grade1 <= 89)
letter1 = B;
if ( 89 < grade1)
letter1 = A;



cout << " Grade = " << grade1 << " = " << letter 1 << endl;

return 0;
}

No, my class hasn't covered arrays yet, but I can look it up if that's the best approach to this.

Well some advice is that learning is advancing oneself, so even though your class hasn't thought the subject of arrays yet do go ahead and look it up as its a better solution for your problem...
While you're at it look up loops as well then try to figure out how to use the both concepts to solve your problem...
If you have any issues you can always come back for help...
