Pls I need help on these pascal questions.

1. A pascal program that takes the score of 10 courses and calculate the GPA.

2. A pascal program which accepts the size of heart and output heart(love shape) stars on the screen. Using nested loop.
Thanks in advance

For problem 1, what I would do is initiate a total to 0, then build an array of 10 scores. Iterate through that array of 10 scores and each time the for loop goes through its phase the value of total is increased or added onto by one of the array score elements. After the loop, the total value can be divided by the size or number of elements in the array.

For problem 2 are you saying the programme asks the user for a certain amount of asterisks and then outputs them to the screen in the form of a heart?

Fulaman that's not the way to calculate CGPA! OP Google is your friend. You can even see already written code and port it to pascal.

oops lol you are right, I was thinking he was talking about score average, and not CGPA lol my mistake.

Using any programming language, you may not necessarily need an array.

If the number of courses is undetermined,

Ask the user to input the number of courses he is offering that semester.

Declare a variable to be accumulating the points of each of the courses. Initialize the variable to 0 (zero)


Declare a variable to be accumulating the units of each of the courses. Initialize the variable also to 0 (zero)

Loop through the number of courses.

For each of the courses, ask the user to input his score and the units of that course.

Calculate the points of each course using the following illustration.

Depending on the grade system of your school, Some schools like UI operates on a grade system of 7.0 and you must have a minimum of 70 marks per each course for you to have an A in a course, schools like most polytechnics operates on a grade point of 4.0 (except The Polytechnic, Ibadan, which uses 5.0) and you must have 75 upwards for you to have an A in a course, while others schools operates on a grade point of 5.0 and you must have a minimum of 70 for you to have an A in a course.


So, the next thing to do is to use if statements to get the range of each point per course.

Take for instance, if your school operates on a grade system of 5.0 and you must have at least 70 to have an A in any course, then your if statements can look like this

if(score>=70) {
grade = 5.0;
point = grade*unit;
total_point+=point;
total_unit+=unit;
}

else if( (score>=65) && (score < 70) ) {
grade = 4.5;
point = grade*unit;
total_point+=point;
total_unit+=unit;
}


Then you terminate the loop

and then calculate the GP for that semester by using something like

gradePoint = total_point/total_unit.

I guess that's all

Thanks plenty plenty...

Pls how about the heart program

Pls how about the heart program
