Question

Write a python program that asks the user to enter a student's name and 6 numeric tests scores (out of 100 for each test). The name will be a global variable. Create functions to calculate a letter grade for the student and calculate the average of the test scores for the student. The program should display a letter grade for each score, and the average test score, along with the student's name. Assume 6 students in the class.

Functions in the program:

the function should accept 6 test scores as arguments and return the average of the scores per student

the function should accept a test score average as an argument and return a letter grade for the score based on the following grading scale:

90-100        A

80-89          B

70-79          C

60-69          D

Below 60     F

Data for the program:

Jill Tree 70 66 87 82 75 73

Francis Ricks 90 93 87 84 91 93

Sally Smith 99 97 92 90 88 89

John Jones 72 86 59 69 72 78

Tommy Rimes    87 83 86 90 80 88

Erin Ames           66 69 72 61 73 71

Answer 1

Pseudo code:

• Create global variable name to store name of the student.
• Create method to calculate and return the average score of the student with 6 arguments as student scores.
• Create method to find and return the grade for the average score of the student with average score as arguments.
• Create main method to enter the name and scores of the student store it in a list.
• Invoke method to calculate the average score of the student using for loop with scores of the student.
• Invoke method to find grade of the student using for loop with average score of the student.
• Please refer to the screenshots for the intendation of the program with sample output.

Program:

global name

stud=[]

def averageScore(score1, score2, score3, score4, score5, score6):
return (score1+score2+score3+score4+score5+score6)/6
  
def testGrade(score):
if(score>89 and score<101):
return 'A'
elif (score>79 and score <90):
return 'B'
elif (score>69 and score <80):
return 'C'
elif (score>59 and score <70):
return 'D'
return 'F'

def main():
for i in range(0,6):
name=input("Enter your student name "+str(i+1)+": ")
stud.append([name])
score=input("Enter your scores : ").split(" ")
stud[i]=stud[i]+[int(score[0])]
stud[i]=stud[i]+[int(score[1])]
stud[i]=stud[i]+[int(score[2])]
stud[i]=stud[i]+[int(score[3])]
stud[i]=stud[i]+[int(score[4])]
stud[i]=stud[i]+[int(score[5])]
  
average=[]
for x in stud:
score=averageScore(x[1], x[2], x[3], x[4], x[5], x[6])
average.append(score)
  
grade=[]
for x in average:
grade.append(testGrade(x))
  
for i in range(0,6):
print("Name : "+str(stud[i][0])+", Average : "+str(average[i])+", Grade : "+str(grade[i]))
  
if __name__== "__main__":
main()
