Grades

Background:

Suppose that a high school district decided on the following academic standards for a student's eligibility to participate in extracurricular activities, such as athletics, music, or drama, etc.:

1. No F's.
2. Minimum 2.0 grade point average (gpa)
   Note: A = 4.0, B = 3.0, C = 2.0, D = 1.0, F = 0
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 class will not 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.

Instructions:

1. Use these 6 sample report cards (with a grade for each academic class) as inputs for your run outputs:

B B C B F	C B D D D C
C D C	A A B A A B A
A B A	D C F F D
