Write a program that takes the user's grades for four subjects and determines whether the student has passed or not. The student must have a total of 240 or more and at least 60 marks in each subject.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for a program that takes user inputs for grades in four subjects and checks if the total meets a passing criterion of 240 or more and also confirms that each subject has a minimum of 60 marks. This will involve input collection, basic validating and arithmetic operations.
Answer
The program outputs "Passed" or "Failed" based on the criteria.
Answer for screen readers
The program should output "Passed" if the user meets both criteria (total marks ≥ 240 and each subject ≥ 60), otherwise it should output "Failed".
Steps to Solve
- Gather User Inputs
You will need to collect grades for the four subjects from the user. You can use a method such as:
subject1 = int(input("Enter the marks for Subject 1: "))
subject2 = int(input("Enter the marks for Subject 2: "))
subject3 = int(input("Enter the marks for Subject 3: "))
subject4 = int(input("Enter the marks for Subject 4: "))
- Calculate Total Marks
After acquiring the grades, add all four subject marks together to get the total.
total_marks = subject1 + subject2 + subject3 + subject4
- Check Passing Criterion
Verify if the total marks are greater than or equal to 240.
if total_marks >= 240:
pass_criteria = True
else:
pass_criteria = False
- Check Individual Subject Minimums
Ensure that each subject's marks are at least 60.
subject_minimums = (subject1 >= 60 and subject2 >= 60 and subject3 >= 60 and subject4 >= 60)
- Final Result Evaluation
Combine both conditions (total marks and individual subject minimums) to determine if the user has passed or failed.
if pass_criteria and subject_minimums:
result = "Passed"
else:
result = "Failed"
The program should output "Passed" if the user meets both criteria (total marks ≥ 240 and each subject ≥ 60), otherwise it should output "Failed".
More Information
This program is used to evaluate students' performance across multiple subjects with set criteria, ensuring that not only the overall performance but also individual subject scores are taken into account. This ensures fair grading and helps identify areas for improvement.
Tips
- Forgetting to convert input from string to integer, which can lead to type errors.
- Not handling cases where the inputs might not be valid numbers (e.g., non-numeric inputs).
- Overlooking individual subject minimum requirements while checking the results.
