Reading the "+" & "-"

I am a newbie trying to write a program where I can input a letter grade and gives me a grade point as the output. But I am having a hard time getting the program to read the "+" and "-" of the grades.

I would really appreciate the help!

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;


int main()
{
	char letterGrade;
	int i = 0;
	cout << "Grade: "; cin >> letterGrade;

	if (letterGrade == 'A')
	{
		cout << "4.0";
	}
	else if (letterGrade == 'A-')
	{
		cout << "3.7";
	}
	else if (letterGrade == 'B+')
	{
		cout << "3.3";
	}
	else if (letterGrade == 'B')
	{
		cout << "3.0";
	}
	else if (letterGrade == 'B-')
	{
		cout << "2.7";
	}

	cout << " " << endl;

	cout << "Press any key to exit: " << endl;
	cin >> i;
	return 0;
}

cin only gets a single character input. What you want to use is getline(cin, letterGrade);
Use double quotes around your constants instead of single quotes; single quotes are for single characters only, not strings as you are using here.
Thank You very much!!! Problem Solved!
