Title: Building a Grading System with Python:

Hello Dev community!

I’m excited to share my Grading System Workbook, which is one of my first Python projects! As I’m diving deeper into Python, I wanted to create something practical that could be used to calculate grades efficiently based on various input criteria.

Project Overview

This project involves creating a grading system where grades are calculated automatically based on scores and other factors like weightage. The script takes inputs such as student scores for different assignments or exams and outputs the final grade, making it a time-saver for anyone managing multiple students.

Key Features:

Input Flexibility: Users can input multiple scores for different categories (assignments, exams, etc.).

Weighted Grading: The script calculates grades based on weighted criteria (e.g., exams = 60%, assignments = 40%).

Final Grade Calculation: The program outputs the final grade and gives feedback based on the score.

Learning Highlights:

How to manage user inputs and process them with Python.

Implementing a weighted grading system for accurate results.

Using functions to make the code modular and reusable.

I’m sharing the full code on my GitHub and I’d love to hear your thoughts, improvements, or any questions you have about the project. Feel free to explore and share your feedback!

Looking forward to engaging with the community and learning more!
