why is in this loop it's not entering the if statements at lines 75, 86?

you can probably cut most of that out too, you only need to post the relevant parts

here its missing some context, i meant the two if's with the long expression inside and the (*min/maxLoc)++

ive given this code these inputs, and you can see it always outputs that *minLoc or *maxLoc are 0 when they should be bigger

Please enter 4 numbers (>0 and <1) for average weights (the fifth will fill automatically):

discord still doesn't have line numbering

[shadow ravine]

im talking about the two if commands

it was my attemt at making a flag of the address of the maxFgrade and minFgrade

[still dust]

well presumably it's because the Fgrade isn't above maxFgrade and isn't below minFgrade

[shadow ravine]

but from the example i pasted here you can see it's not the issue

[shadow ravine]

here

[still dust]

that's all meaningless to me

the things handling and producing that input and output aren't shown in your code

(that's not an invitation to post all of it)

[shadow ravine]

just the last 4 lines can tell you

[still dust]

the last 4 lines look perfectly fine to me

the max grade of the first 2 students is indeed 92, and the min grade is indeed 83

[shadow ravine]

so then one was either bigger or lower than the initilized value which was only one of them

so it should have incrimented one of *minloc or *maxloc

but both are zero still

[still dust]

have you stepped through with a debugger and inspected values?

[shadow ravine]

i found out the problem i had to change it to == in the if

[still dust]

<= makes more sense to me

Your conditions are flawed
