Grade point average (GPA) is a measure of a student's academic achievement at an educational institution. A student's GPA is calculated by dividing the total number of grade quality points they earn by the total number they attempt. The result, rounded off to two decimal places, is the student's GPA.
This GPA calculator will prompt the user to enter a student's grades. After each grade is entered by the user, the program will give the use the option to continue entering grades or to stop entering grades and calculate the GPA.
