GRADES

 

 

Background:

 

Suppose a high school district decided on these academic standards for eligibility in extracurricular activities such as athletics, music, drama, etc.:

 

1.    No F's.

2.    Minimum 2.0 average.

3.    Enrollment in a minimum of four academic classes.

 

 

Assignment:

 

1.    Write a program that accepts the letter grades for a student, calculates the student's GPA, and prints it out along with one of the following five messages:

 

Eligible

Ineligible, taking less than 4 classes.

Ineligible, gpa below 2.0

Ineligible, gpa above 2.0 but has F grade      (note:  gpa >= 2.0)

Ineligible, gpa below 2.0 and has F grade

 

2.    Your program must use an appropriate sequence of nested if-else statements to print out the appropriate message.

 

3.    The message "Ineligible, taking less than 4 classes" has priority over the other 3 ineligible cases.

 

4.    The program is not to ask the user for how many grades are in a student's report card.  The program will continue to read grades until a non-grade character is input.  At this point, some type of loop will cease and the program prints the GPA value and the eligibility message.

 

5.    Example of run output:                  GPA = 3.75         Eligible

 

6.    You do not have to print out any of the individual grades.

 

7.    Your program should allow input of grades in either upper or lower case. 

 

 

Instruction:

 

1.    Use these sample report cards as inputs for your run outputs:

 

B  B  C  B  F

C  D  C

A  B  A

C  B  D  D  D  C

A  A  B  A  A  B  A

D  C  F  F  D
