How do i do functions

Question

GPA = input("What is your GPA: ")
def GPAcalc( A, B, C, D, F):
    (GPA == "A")
    print.str("4")
    (GPA == "B")
    print.str("3")
    (GPA == "C")
    print.str("2")
    (GPA == "D")
    print.str("1")
    (GPA == "F")
    print.str("0")
    (GPA != "A", "B", "C", "D", "F")
    print ("Invalid")
print("Your GPA score is: " + GPA)

what am i doing wrong i dont know how to do this

Answer 1

I don't know what exactly was your question but this python solution might help

Answer 2

You have to learn the proper syntax:

• use if to check if a condition is true and branch your code into a true and false case.
• you can keep using elif to follow the false case of your previous condition and test for a new condition
• you can add an else if you do not have any other condition to handle the false case.
• when an expression for a condition is finished, close it with a colon (:)
• use print to print something on the screen
• you already seem familiar with input to ask the user to provide some input.
• you can turn a string (text) into all upper case to make your life easier during the grade checks with the string.upper() function. Since input already returns a string, you can just call upper() on the result of input().

And here's the code:

def CalculateGpa(grade):
    if grade == 'A':
        print(4)
    elif grade == 'B':
        print(3)
    elif grade == 'C':
        print(2)
    elif grade == 'D':
        print(1)
    elif grade == 'E':
        print(0)
    else:
        print('Invalid grade.')

gpa = input("What is your GPA: ").upper()
CalculateGpa(gpa)

Answer 3

instead of using a comma you have to have a bunch of or statements or (in terms of my python based answer) it will see it as a tuple not as it checking each one (if you can understand what im saying if you dont just comment)

Answer 4

im with you lol

Answer 5

You have not created a variable with a GPA value. Before the last line of the program, create a variable called GPA, and execute a function in the variable. In a function, in checks, remove the quotes from "A", "B", "C" and "D"

Answer 6

I adjusted your definition code, but I'm not totally sure what you want to do with it. But here is the modified code.

GPA = input("What is your GPA: ")

def GPAcalc( A, B, C, D, F):
    if (GPA == "A"):
        print("4")
    elif (GPA == "B"):
        print("3")
    elif (GPA == "C"):
        print("2")
    elif (GPA == "D"):
        print("1")
    elif (GPA == "F"):
        print("0")
    elif (GPA != "A", "B", "C", "D", "F"):
        print ("Invalid")
        
print("Your GPA score is: " + GPA)

Would you mind explaining what you want to do? It would help.
