        message = "Sophomore standing"

   

    #If the credit hours earned is between 60 and

    elif(credit_hours_earned >= 60 and

    credit_hours_earned <= 89.9):

        message = "Junior standing"

    #Otherwise, the message will be senior standing.

    else:

        message = "Senior standing"

   

    #Return the required message value.

    return message

#Display the result of the function call

#determine_standing() by passing the argument value

#as 36.
