...

(name and grade)

and produce it in the screen...one is a string and the other an integer...i know how to do only the integer but i can not do both...help!

Answer 1

It depends on what language you are using. If you are using Java use the StringTokenizer class with the delimiter set to a space. Then call nextToken() and in an alternating fashion parse a string and an int.

Edit: In c++ you can use the C function strtok(), it is similar to the above.
