Using String to output a grade

doubletime23 (9)
I have a program where you imput a grade from 0% to 100% and it will output your letter grade. Im getting an error saying cout is ambiguous. Any help would be appreciated!

There's a big piece of your code missing.

That's your complete main function. See this bit straight after it:

			ltr = "D";
		if (average <= 69 && average >= 60)
			ltr = "C";
		if (average <= 79 && average >= 70)
			ltr = "B";
		if (average >= 80)
			ltr = "A... Browner";

		cout << "\nYour letter grade is... " <<ltr;
		getch();
}


That's not in any function and it's got a closing } at the end, but there's no opening { that seems to go with it.
There's no definition of ltr

Still not running but I have no errors as I write the program, saying there's an error on #include <iostream>

You have three { but only two }

Why declare average twice?

What are you using the following for?

 #include <cmath>
#include <cassert>
 #include <cctype>
