How many students? 3
Enter Student ID: 1001
Enter grade for quiz 1: 100
Enter grade for quiz 2: 10
Enter grade for quiz 3: 100
Enter grade for quiz 4: 100
Enter Student ID: 1002
Enter grade for quiz 1: 100
Enter grade for quiz 2: 50
Enter grade for quiz 3: 60
Enter grade for quiz 4: 60
Enter Student ID: 1003
Enter grade for quiz 1: 30
Enter grade for quiz 2: 40
Enter grade for quiz 3: 50
Enter grade for quiz 4: 60
The average for student 100 is 302.75
The average for student 60 is 605.75
The average for student 60 is 886.50

You never reset average to 0 after working with it.

I wasn't sure what you meant so I put it after line 55.
It seems to be working a little more accurately, but not exact.
Also, the output of the students is still wrong. Any reason why it keeps thinking the stuID is the last quiz score entered?

Sorry, I meant total - I looked at the wrong variable by mistake.
