Array with barchart question.

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone could help me with this problem I have. I want to create a bar chart format, to display how many scorers are in each part of the grade array. I want to increment the bar chart with a * everytime a number goes in to the grades array. I have the code mostly done, just can't seem to get the bar chart to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

static void Main(string[] args)

{

Console.WriteLine("Enter the mark you received, enter -999 to quit");

int mark = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());

int[] grade = new int[5];

while (mark != -999)

{

if (mark >= 70 && mark <= 100)

{

grade[0]++;

}

else if (mark >= 60 && mark <= 69)

{

grade[1]++;

}

else if (mark >= 50 && mark <= 59)

{

grade[2]++;

}

else if (mark >= 40 && mark <= 49)

{

grade[3]++;

}

else if (mark >= 0 && mark <= 39)

{

grade[4]++;

}

Console.WriteLine("Enter the mark you received, enter -999 to quit");

mark = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());

}

for (int i = 0; i < grade.Length; i++)

{

Console.WriteLine( "{0,-15} {1,-15}", grade[i], "*");

}

Console.ReadLine();

}

Try this after the while statement ends:

Console.Clear();
Console.WriteLine("\n{0,-10} {1,-10} {2}", "Grade", "Number", "Bar Chart");
Console.WriteLine("{0,-10} {1,-10} {2}\n", "-----", "------", "---------");
for (int i = 0; i < grade.Length; i++)
{
Console.WriteLine("{0,-10} {1,-10} {2}", i + 1, grade[i], new string('*', grade[i]));
}
Console.ReadLine();
