You have been contracted to write a JAVA program that will generate a students Grade

Point Average (GPA) for any given semester.

The program MUST prompt the student to enter ALL of the following:

Students name (First and Last in separate variables)

Student ID (e.g. 00022333)

Academic Year (e.g. 2020/2021)

Semester No (e.g. II)

The number of courses did in the above semester (e.g. 3)

FOR EACH COURSE, the program MUST prompt the student for the below course

information: -

Course Code (e.g. ITEC133)

Course Credit (e.g. 3)

Grade earned in the course (e.g. A)

After acquiring the pertinent information from the student, the program MUST then calculate the

students GPA.

The TOTAL number of quality points earned for the semester divided by the TOTAL

number of credits earned will yield a student semester GPA.

Quality points for EACH course is calculated by multiplying the GRADE VALUE assigned to

the grade for that course by the number of credits for the course.

(Example, if a student earns an A in a course (ITEC133) and the credit given to that course is (3)

then the Quality Points for the said course would equate to 12 (4 (grade value) x 3 (credits)).

Please refer to the below table to see the grade and grade value points assign to each grade.

Grade Grade Description Marks (%) Grade Value Points

A Excellent 90 100 4.0

B+ Very Good 85 89.9 3.5

B Good 80 84.9 3.0

C+ Satisfactory 75 79.9 2.5

C Average 70 74.9 2

D+ Below Average 65 69.9 1.5

D Minimum Passing Grade 60 64.9 1.0

F Fail 0.0 59.9 0.0

After calculating the students GPA for a given semester the program MUST print the students

name, ID number and their GPA for the given academic year and semester.

Example of how the program must run

Example 1

Please enter student name: Kevin Hart

Please enter student ID: 00011111

Please enter the Academic Year: 2020/2021

Please enter the Semester No: 1

Please enter the number of courses did in the above semester: 3

Please enter the Course Code: ITEC133

Please enter the Course Credit: 3

Please enter Grade received in the course: A

Please enter the Course Code: ITEC 120

Please enter the Course Credit: 3

Please enter Grade received in the course: B+

Please enter the Course Code: MATH 117

Please enter the Course Credit: 3

Please enter Grade received in the course: B

Kevin Hart your GPA for year 2020 / 2021 semester II is 3.5

Example 2

Please enter student name: Marion Ashby

Please enter student ID: 00019999

Please enter the Academic Year: 2020 / 2021

Please enter the Semester No: II

Please enter the number of courses did in the above semester:1

Please enter the Course Code: LIBS 130

Please enter the Course Credit: 3

Please enter Grade received in the course: B

Marion Ashby your GPA for year 2020/ 2021 semester II is 3.0

General Guidelines

1. Make use of appropriate messages to make your program as informative and user friendly as

possible, without being unnecessarily complex.

2. Keep user interactions simple and instructions clear.

3. Use adequate documentation (comments) and proper indentation to clarify your program

code where necessary and improve layout.

Programming Guidelines (Minimum Methods)

1. Create a method called calQualityPoints that accepts the appropriate arguments and

calculates the quality points for each course.

2. Create a method called calGpa that accepts the appropriate arguments and calculates the

students GPA for a semester and returns the results to the main method.

3. Arrays MUST be used.

Requirements

1. A one-page description of how you tested the program to make sure that it worked. This

should include a table showing various combinations of inputs with expected, and actual,

outputs, plus a brief discussion of why you chose the particular values in the table. (HINT:

make sure your program works with various combinations of extreme values. For example, it

should give a correct output for a student who didnt pursued any courses in a particular

semester and for a student who pursued a maximum of five courses in a particular semester.

2. A one-page description of how your program works. Make reference to the different

variables, control structures, methods and data structures you used.

Program

1. Documentation and layout (Comments, spacing, indentation)

2. Correct use of basic control constructs (sequence, selection and repetition)

3. Proper layout of interface for input and output of data/information

4. Correct use of the two methods as indicated

5. Correct creation and use of arrays to hold and process data

6. Working Program (no syntax errors, correctness, efficiency, user interaction)
