I want to reference a table before it appears.The TeX code is pasted below
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
The results given in Table~\ref{tab:a} show the performance of
the class.
\begin{table}
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{lrc}\hline
Name & Mark & Grade \\
\hline
Prasad & 99 & A+ \\
Prakash & 51 & C\\
Shine & 5 & F\\ \hline
\end{tabular}
\caption{Class Mark List}\label{tab:a}
\end{center}
\end{table}
\end{document}
But the text
The results given in Table~\ref{tab:a} show the performance of
the class.
is coming after the table. How can I put the table immediately after the text.
