Undefined function or variable - How can I fix my function?

I have written a function to satisfy the following question for my homework:
Write a function called letter_grades that takes a positive integer called score as its input argument and returns a letter grade according to the following scale: A: 91 and above; B: 81-90; C: 71-80; D: 61-70; F: below 61. Remember that to assign a letter to a variable, you need to put it in single quotes, as in: grade = 'A'
I have written the following:
function a = letter_grades(score)
if 91 <= (score) && (score) <= 100
a = A;
elseif 81 <= (score) && score <= 90
a = B;
elseif 71 <= score && score <= 80
a = C;
elseif 61 <= score && score <= 70
a = D;
elseif 0 <= score && score <=60
a = F;
end
However I receive the error:
'Undefined function or variable 'A'.
Error in letter_grades (line 3)
a = A;
What exactly does this mean, and can someone please explain how and why to fix my function?
Thank you

Hi Mairi Robertson,
The issue is that you are assigning grades as a variable, and not as a letter as mentioned in the problem statement i.e. your code does a = A. It should be changed to:
a = 'A'.
If A is written without single quotes, MATLAB will treat it as a variable.
Also, the conditional statements can be modified to:
if score>=91
a = 'A'
elseif score >=81
a = 'B'
elseif score >= 71
a = 'c'
elseif score >= 61
a = 'd'
else
a ='F'
Thanks
