> the program is supposed to find the average of two test scores and if one of the scores is out of the score range (0-100), an error message is displayed. The main problem with this is that when someone types in a number outside of the range, it'll ask them to enter two scores again, but ends up adding all of the scores together (including the invalid ones) and dividing by how many there are. Please help.
 
I still can't get it. Someone please tell me lol. I have done everything I can and still I get bad answers.
