Hey all,<\/p>\n
Just started learning powershell and decided the best way to learn was to make a few little games etc.<\/p>\n
The following is the fourth one I’ve made and works up until the point it tries to call the data from variables.<\/p>\n
It misses out the whole grading and ranking process and skips straight to the end screen.<\/p>\n
Any idea’s where I’m going wrong here?<\/p>\n
Thanks in advance<\/p>\n
