AP Computer Science A· difficulty 2/5

if (g >= 90) grade = 'A';
if (g >= 80) grade = 'B';
if (g >= 70) grade = 'C';

A
$char cannot hold a grade$
B
$g must be a String$
C
$All ifs run; later assignments overwrite earlier ones. Use else if.$
check_circle
D
$Nothing is wrong$

Explanation

Independent ifs all execute; with g=95 every condition is true, so the last assignment ('C') wins. Chain with else if for mutual exclusion.
