Spend longer whenever you need.</p><p>A decision chooses which statements run. The policy here is “ready at 80 or higher.” Trace 85, 79, 80, and 81 before running each case. The comparison includes 80. A program that prints the right answer for 85 may still be wrong at the boundary. Add a separate check rejecting scores below 0 or above 100; rejection and needing practice mean different things.</p><p><code>std::cout</code> writes output. <code>std::vector</code> manages a growing sequence and releases its storage when its lifetime ends. The lab selects C++17; an example that compiles under a different standard needs its settings recorded.</p><pre><code class="language-cpp">#include &lt;iostream&gt;
