I just started learning JavaScript and I'm trying to write a program that tells grade based on your score,everytime I input the code I keep getting "SyntaxError: missing ) after condition






This is the code I wrote, gurus in the house should help me out I'm testing it on console.log



Var scores="grade"
if (scores < 100 AND scores> 75);
{Console.log( student got an A);
}

I am a beginner too, but you can try below rewritten code.


Var scores="grade";
if (scores < 100 AND scores> 75)
{Console.log( "student got an A" );
}

misplaced semi-colon ';'

If there is something below a beginner then that's what I am. Well, I think the error should be with your "AND".
Trying using a double ampersand like this "&&" and if the problem persists remember the word I highlighted..
You are welcome.

Use & & where you used AND....

Should be
If(scores < 100 && scores > 75){
console.log('student got an A') ;
}

Your code sef..
How are you comparing string and numbers...?

if grades is a variable, you dont need to quote it
i.e var scores = grade;

Use if else statement

Let me point out the errors:

Var scores="grade" ::: should be

Var scores=grade; (since grade is a variable, no need for quotation mark).


if (scores < 100 AND scores> 75);
::: should be


if (scores <= 100 AND scores>= 75) (since both 75 & 100 are also A, it should be less than or equal to && greater than or equal to. Also note that the semi colon at the end of the statement has been removed. You can't put a semi colon at the closing bracket of an If statement).

Full code will be:


Var scores=grade;

if (scores <= 100 AND scores >= 75){
Console.log('student got an A');
}
