Lab 6
Basic Numeric Programming - Grade Calculator
Write a program that reads in Assignment scores, Lab scores, Exam scores, Quiz scores and final exam
score from a file, named scores.txt via redirection and then produces a weighted average. The
weighted average will be based on what percent each of the stated categories. When the percentages of
each category are added, they total 100%. All scores will be given on a percentile (0-100) basis.

Presume the following about each category:

Assignments

Total of 5
25% of the course grade

Labs

Total of 9
20% of the course grade

Quizzes

Total of 6
15% of the course grade

Exams

Total of 3 including final


40% of the course grade
Input File Format

The first line in the file will be the student name (first name space last name). On the next line the
Assignments scores, white space separated. Next line the Labs scores white-space separated. Next line
the Quiz scores white space separated. Last line the exam scores with the last score being the final exam.

Sample input file:

Stu Steiner
90 85 88 100 30
89 95 85 75 85 90 95 55 90
99 100 98 76 80 85
56 85 95

You may presume a correctly formed input file. Once the file has been read, report the percentage
earned in each category followed by the weighted percentage. In addition, report the Grade Point for the
course based on the following formula:

4.2 - (( 100 - Avg. Percentile Score) / 12)

Sample Run

Student Name: Stu Steiner

Assignments Scores: 90 85 88 100 30
