Question

This question was answered by someone else but their code doesn't work when I try to run it.

Q1. Currently, you are enrolled in the Spring semester and taking five courses. Write a program that asks the user to enter the final score of each course. The program should display a letter grade for each class, a statement based on a letter grade, and a spring semester GPA. Each course has 3 credit hours. Write the following functions in the program. calculate_GPA. This function should accept the total points as arguments and return the semester GPA. determine_grade. This function should accept a course score as an argument and return a letter the grade for the course based on the following grading scale. Score Letter Grade Statement Points 90-100 A Excellent 12 80-90 B Above Average 70-79 С Average 6 60-69 D Below Average 3 Below 60 F Fail 0 GPA = (Total Points) / (Total Number of Credit enrolled)

PYTHON PROGRAM

The comments are mentioned in grey and italic.

Kindly note the three logical concerns with the question:

1. 90 is being considered for grade A and grade B. So, I have coded with 90-100 as grade A and 80-89 as grade B.

2. The explanation of the total points in the usual GPA calculation method is points*credits. That is not mentioned. I have computed that way. If you don't want the multiplication part, kindly remove that as I have mentioned it clearly in comments.

3. Usually the points for grade A will be 10 to obtain a gpa on a scale of 10 but it is mentioned as 12 in the question. I have mentioned as 12 only in the program.

Kindly use the comment section for further clarification if needed.

def calculate_GPA(score):
    #Since five courses and three credit hours
    #gpa= total points earned/total credits
    #Total points=Sum of (points*credits) for each subject
    #Total credits=5*3=15
    #Kindly note usually total points is calculated this way.
    #If you don't want the multiplication with credits,remove that in the line before function call
    return score/15 
def determine_grade(score):
    #For a given score, the statement is printed and letter grade is returned
    if score>=90 and score<=100:
        print("Excellent")
        return "A"
    elif score>=80 and score<=89:
        #Kindly check in Question - 90 is considered in both cases 90-100 and 80-90
        print("Above Average")
        return "B"
    elif score>=70 and score<=79:
        print("Average")
        return "C"
    elif score>=60 and score<=69:
        print("Below Average")
        return "D"
    elif score<60:
        print("Fail")
        return "F"
#List points to hold the points earned for each course
points=[]
for i in range(5):
    print("Enter your marks for course",i+1)
    #Get mark from user
    mark=int(input())
    #Print grade and statement
    grade=determine_grade(mark)
    print("Grade:",grade)
    # Compute the points earned
    if grade=="A":
        point=12 #Kindly check if this is 12!!! Because, logically it has to be 10. 
    elif grade=="B":
        point=9
    elif grade=="C":
        point=6
    elif grade=="D":
        point=3
    elif grade=="F":
        point=0
    #Usually, total points is calculated by points*credit
    #In case, if that's not your expectation, remove *3 in the following line
    points.append(point*3)
#Print the GPA
print("Spring Semester GPA:",calculate_GPA(sum(points)))
