Given a positive integer (0 and above, no maximum), convert it into a grade following these rules:

A = 100+  
B = 90 - 99  
C = 80 - 89  
D = 70 - 79  
E = 60 - 69  
F = 59 and less.

This felt a little boring, so make the grade a + if it's 7,8 or 9 and a - if it's 0,1 or 2. Ignore this for the F and A cases.

An example:

Input:

65

Output:

E

Test cases:

0  -> F
20 -> F
65 -> E
72 -> D-
75 -> D
80 -> C-
99 -> B+
102 -> A
864 -> A

No trailing spaces. One newline after output is fine, but keep it consistent. Functions and full programs are both fine.

This is code golf, so shortest code wins. This was inspired by an Ask Ubuntu question, How to write a shell script to assign letter grades to numeric ranges?. The answers are in bash and python, so slightly spoilers.

Retina is a regex language created by Martin Büttner, where the odd-numbered files are the regex to match with, and the even-numbered files are what to replace it with. Each line is a separate file, so I've added 15 bytes for each additional file.

Explanation

It starts by making anything with 3 or more digits an A. It adds a - if it is two-digit number ending with 0, 1, or 2, and + if it ends with 7, 8, or 9. The numbers are then mapped to their grade (e.g. a number starting with 9 is given a B). Any number left over is automatically an F. Unfortunately, ;` must be prepended to all but to the last regex to suppress intermediate output. Update: version 0.5.0 has intermediate output off by default, allowing me to save a few bytes.

C, 99 bytes

I'm new here, I hope I'm following the rules.

char b[3];char*f(n){b[1]=0;n<60?*b=70:n>99?*b=65:(*b=75-n/10,b[1]=n%10<3?45:n%10>6?43:0);return b;}

This function takes the mark as a parameter and returns the grade as a NULL-terminated string.

Explanation

Added whitespace:

char b[3];

char *f(n) {
    b[1] = 0;
    n<60 ? *b = 70 :
    n>99 ? *b = 65 :
    (
        *b = 75 - n / 10,
        b[1] = n % 10 < 3 ? 45 : n % 10 > 6 ? 43 : 0
    );

    return b;
}

Global variables are automatically initialized to zero, so b is filled with NULLs. Since only the first two characters are ever touched, we only have to worry about putting a NULL in b[1] if the grade has only one character. This NULL is inserted at the very beginning of the function. The n parameter is implicitly int. If the grade is less than 60, then it's set to 'F', if it's bigger than 99 it's set to 'A'. In the other cases, the base grade is given by 'E' - (n - 60) / 10, which simplifies to 75 - n / 10. n % 10 gets the units digit of the mark. If it's less than 3 then a - is appended, if it's bigger than 6 a + is appended, otherwise b[1] is nulled (which it already was).

Test cases

#include <stdio.h>

char b[3];char*f(n){b[1]=0;n<60?*b=70:n>99?*b=65:(*b=75-n/10,b[1]=n%10<3?45:n%10>6?43:0);return b;}

int main() {
    printf("  0 -> %s\n", f(0));
    printf(" 20 -> %s\n", f(20));
    printf(" 65 -> %s\n", f(65));
    printf(" 72 -> %s\n", f(72));
    printf(" 75 -> %s\n", f(75));
    printf(" 80 -> %s\n", f(80));
    printf(" 99 -> %s\n", f(99));
    printf("102 -> %s\n", f(102));
    printf("864 -> %s\n", f(864));

    return 0;
}

Output:
  0 -> F
 20 -> F
 65 -> E
 72 -> D-
 75 -> D
 80 -> C-
 99 -> B+
102 -> A
864 -> A

Surprisingly, this is quite close to the python solution.

f(i){printf(i<60?"F":i>99?"A":"%c%s",75-i/10,"-\0+"+(i%10+1)/4);}

But in order for this program, to come to such great shortness, sacrifices had to be made:

  • If an F or an A is printed printf doesn't even look at the other arguments passed. This is a quite nasty hack.

  • If (i%10+1)/4 evaluates to 1 (no + or - should be appended to the grade), the %s formatter receives a pointer to a \0 byte, so nothing is printed. Also quite funny, because I didn't know that you could take the address of an indexed string literal. (e.g. &"string"[i]) (edit: "string"+i is even shorter! Thanks @nutki)

Here the output of the program for the numbers 57 to 102. I made it a hexdump, so we can be sure no weird \0 bytes have been printed.

If the aditional space after the letter isn't allowed, I will happily remove it. It wasn't! This increased my code by 1 byte, but nothing (too) serious.

    \$\begingroup\$ @Tim Fixed it. I hope it is enough. Quoting yourself: "One newline after output is fine, but keep it consistent.". I think that is consistent enough. \$\endgroup\$ May 11, 2015 at 14:51

string g(int n){return n>=100?"A":n<=59?"F":(char)(75-n/10)+(n%10>6?"+":n%10<3?"-":"");}

I tried to be clever by doing ASCII number mods, but it seems I wasn't alone!

Thanks to Tim for advice on lists instead of ifs.

Thanks to DarcyThomas for pointing out I could use nested ternary operators.

Haskell, 78 bytes

The first line feels wasteful, costing 14 bytes, but I couldn't find a shorter version without it.

(#)=replicate
a="A":a
f=(!!)$60#"F"++[g:s|g<-"EDCB",s<-3#"-"++4#""++3#"+"]++a

Explanation

The operator # is a shorthand for creating n copies of its second argument. List a is an infinite list of Strings "A". Function f indexes into a list of all grades for n=0,1,... The list comprehension builds the "middle part" of this list (grades E to B); g is a single Char that is prepended to the String s (which may be empty).

Usage

ghci> map f [0,20,65,72,75,80,99,102,864]
["F","F","E","D-","D","C-","B+","A","A"]

}

Usage

#include <stdio.h>
int f(int );
int main(){
    int c;
    scanf("%d",&c);
    f(c);
}

TI-BASIC is not good for string manipulation.

Input on the calculator homescreen, in the form of [number]:[program name].

Formatted:

.1Ans
sub(                      //Syntax for the substring command is sub(string, index, length)

    "F?E-E+D-D+C-C+B-B+A"                  //String that encodes possible grades

    ,1+2max(0,min(9,            ))         //Starts at "F" if input <60, "A" if >=100
                   int(2Ans)-11           //(Input-55)/5, so starts at "E" from 60 to 64,
                                          //second E from 65-69, D from 70 to 74, &c.

    ,int(e^(                                   //length 1 if false, 2 (includes +/-) if true
            Ans<10 and Ans≥6 and               //grade between 60 and 100        
                                 iPart(               //1 if abs. val. of below >= 0.2
                                       2.2-5fPart(Ans  //2.2-.5(last digit)    

This can probably be golfed further.

JavaScript (ES6), 86 83 bytes

What's really eating up characters is the String.fromCharCode and the +/- condition... I strongly suspect there's a clever way to shorten at least one of them.

f=n=>n>99?'A':n<60?'F':String.fromCharCode(75.9-n/10|0)+(n%10<3?'-':n%10>6?'+':'');
\$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ If you want short code, String.fromCharCode is almost always useless. Use string indexing (see the other javascript answers) \$\endgroup\$

PHP5.5, 73 bytes

Once again, not the shortest one.

But it works!

<?=($n=$_GET[n])<59?F:($n>99?A:'BCDE'[$n[0]-6].'+-'[$n[1]<3?1:2*$n[1]<5])

I've classified it under PHP5.5 instead of just PHP since this uses syntax that is only valid for PHP5.5 and PHP5.6.

You can read about string and array dereferencing in the manual:

Couldn't believe that there are no Ruby ones here. On reflection it's fairly similar to some that are here already but anyway:

Try it here
