You already answered your own question.

if (number >= 90 && number <= 100)
{
    letter = 'A';
}

it doesnt show the letter it only change my calculations i did a short program to just start it and it show me as a result 65 not an A can you please check it out thank you.

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
double midExam, finExam, aveAssign, finGrade;
char A;
char lName[15];
cout <<""<<endl;
cout <<" Please enter student's last name: ";
cin >> lName;
cout <<" Please enter student's midterm exam grade: ";
cin >> midExam;
cout <<" Please enter student's final exam grade: ";
cin >> finExam;
cout <<" Please enter student's average Assignment grade: ";
cin >> aveAssign;

finGrade = 0.35*midExam + 0.3*aveAssign + 0.35*finExam;

if (finGrade>=90 && finGrade <=100)
{
finGrade = 'A';
}
cout <<setw(10)<<lName<<setw(15) <<finGrade<<endl;


system("pause");
return 0;
}

Because finGrade is a double, it will show the ascii number of 'A'

It should be obvious that if you want to display a character to the screen, you need to display a character. In your example, finGrade is not a character, it is a double.

You need to make a new variable.

char finLetterGrade;

then set finLetterGrade to 'A' and then display it instead of finGrade.
