Is it enough to get an A in a class to ask a professor for a letter of recommendation?

I am interpreting the question to mean "if I earned an A in a class, can I ask the professor for a letter of recommendation?"

As a professor, I would always feel comfortable writing a letter for someone who earned an A or A- in my class. If the person earned a B+ in a very demanding class of mine and had done something memorable like a really good project or presentation, I'd still be able to write for them.

A professor can write a particularly strong letter for you if you've asked a lot of questions, attended office hours regularly, or done some assignments or projects especially well. If you've done research or a reading course with the professor, that's even better.
