Arduino Program to Average and Sort Grades

October 3, 2024 admin

In this video lesson we show how to create a program that will input a list of grades, sort them into descending order, average them, and then find the high and low grades. This is a classic first year college programming assignment. We take you through it step by step. For you convenience, we include the code below.

float grades[25];
int numGrades;
int i;
String myPrompt;

float tmp;
int j;
int flag = 1;

float bucket;
float avg;
float highGrade = 0;
float lowGrade = 100;

void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:
  Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
  Serial.println("How Many Grades? ");
  while (Serial.available() == 0) {
  }
  numGrades = Serial.parseInt();
  for (i = 0; i < numGrades; i = i + 1) {
    myPrompt = "Please Input Grade: " + String(i + 1);
    Serial.println(myPrompt);
    while (Serial.available() == 0) {
    }
    grades[i] = Serial.parseFloat();
  }
  // for (j = 0; j < numGrades - 1; j = j + 1) {
  //   for (i = 0; i < numGrades - 1 - j; i = i + 1) {
  //     if (grades[i] < grades[i + 1]) {
  //       tmp = grades[i];
  //       grades[i] = grades[i + 1];
  //       grades[i + 1] = tmp;
  //     }
  //   }
    flag=1;
    while (flag == 1) {
      flag = 0;
      for (i = 0; i < numGrades - 1; i = i + 1) {
        if (grades[i] < grades[i + 1]) {
          tmp = grades[i];
          grades[i] = grades[i + 1];
          grades[i + 1] = tmp;
          flag = 1;
        }
      }
    }
    Serial.println();
    Serial.println("Your Grades Are: ");
    for (i = 0; i < numGrades; i = i + 1) {
      Serial.println(grades[i]);
    }
    bucket = 0;
    for (i = 0; i < numGrades; i = i + 1) {
      bucket = bucket + grades[i];
    }
    avg = bucket / numGrades;
    Serial.println("Your Average is: " + String(avg));
    highGrade = 0;
    lowGrade = 100;
    for (i = 0; i < numGrades; i = i + 1) {
      if (grades[i] > highGrade) {
        highGrade = grades[i];
      }
      if (grades[i] < lowGrade) {
        lowGrade = grades[i];
      }
    }
    Serial.println("Your High Grade is: " + String(highGrade));
    Serial.println("Your Low Grade is: " + String(lowGrade));
    Serial.println();

In this video lesson we introduce the concept of Arduino Arrays, and illustrate by writing a simple program which inputs and prints a list of grades. The code from the video above is presented below for your convenience.

float grades[25];
int numGrades;
int i;
String myPrompt;
void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:
  Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
  Serial.println("How Many Grades? ");
  while (Serial.available() == 0) {
  }
  numGrades = Serial.parseInt();
  for (i = 0; i < numGrades; i = i + 1) {
    myPrompt = "Please Input Grade: "+String(i+1);
    Serial.println(myPrompt);
    while (Serial.available()==0){
    }
    grades[i]=Serial.parseFloat();
  }
  Serial.println();
  Serial.println("Your Grades Are: ");
  for (i=0;i<numGrades;i=i+1){
    Serial.println(grades[i]);
  }
  for (i=0;i<numGrades;i=i+1){

void loop() {

// put your main code here, to run repeatedly:

Serial.println("How Many Grades? ");

In this video lesson we create a bouncing pixel on the Arduino Uno R4 LED Matrix. For your convenience we include the code developed in the video below.
