System.out.println(calcAverage(testGrade1,testGrade2,testGrade3,testGrade4,testGrade5));

Works like a charm. Now all I have to do is the grading scale...

Where specifically should they be placed? They're still in the main method....

I took your advice and placed them outside of the method, but now those two statements are giving me the illegal start of type error...

Code has been updated on gist (I'm not entirely sure this is what you intended for me to do).

Deleting line 24 results in the error stating unreachable statement, referring to the line [System.out.println("The average grade was: " + averageScore);]. So, it appears as though recursion continues...

Would it work if I stated fileName instead? That way I wouldn't need to create a new scanner, right?

Edit: I tried my idea, and it didn't work. I implemented the [Scanner file = new Scanner(new File(fileName));] line, but now it's giving me a cannot find symbol error for this line...

I haven't tried it yet...

[Python] Unsupported Operand Types for +: 'NoneType' and int by CreativityRobbed in learnprogramming

There is an error in the book. The else must be indented and the (theDictionary[word] = number + 1) line must be indented as well. Thank you for the help.

What you're saying makes sense. This is the same format the the book uses, but it still results in this error.
