I'm not too sure what your question is but there are a few issues in the code.

  • Misplace of { in line 2
  • Incorrect declaration of main statement
  • char[10] - This is incorrect and appears to be not needed. If it is, perhaps char a[10] will suffice.
  • A switch statement should have a "failsafe", by having a default case. This is executed if none of the cases match.
  • return 0 not o

Final Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(){
    
    char grd;
    
    printf("Enter grade: ");
    scanf("%c",&grd);
    
    switch(grd){
        case 'E':
          printf("Excellent");
          break;
        case 'V':
          printf("Very Good");
          break;
        case 'G':
           printf("Good");
           break;
        case 'A':
           printf("Average");
           break;
        case 'F':
           printf("Fail");
           break;
        default:
           printf("Grade entered not available");
    }
 return 0;
}

A small comment here: I usually end the default: case as well with a break.

I do it for symmetry. Also, if someone decides do add a new case after the default (which is not the usual place, but syntactically valid), it would not fall through to the new case if default is selected. Just to be on the safe side. ;)
