Write a program to check student grade based on marks

Description: Write a PHP program to find the grade of a student based on the marks, using the if-else statement.

Rules and hints:

• If marks are 60 or more, the grade is First Division.
• If marks are from 45 to 59, the grade is Second Division.
• If marks are from 33 to 44, the grade is Third Division.
• If marks are less than 33, the student is Fail.

PHP program to check the grade of a student

<?php
$marks = 72;

if ($marks >= 60) {
    $grade = "First Division";
} elseif ($marks >= 45) {
    $grade = "Second Division";
} elseif ($marks >= 33) {
    $grade = "Third Division";
} else {
    $grade = "Fail";
}

echo "Student grade: " . $grade;
?>

Output:

How it works

• PHP checks the conditions from top to bottom and runs only the first one that is true.
• So it is enough to write the lowest marks of each grade (60, 45, 33) in the conditions.
• Change $marks to 40 and 20 and run again to test the other grades.
