GPA Calculator with Letter Grades

The document describes extending a Student class to allow calculating GPA based on letter grades entered as strings. It involves: 1. Adding a addLetterGrade method to the Student class that takes a letter grade as a string, maps it to a numeric grade point value based on a grading scale, and updates the student's grade points and credits. 2. Modifying the main program to allow entry of letter grades which get passed to addLetterGrade instead of addGrade, and still calculates the final GPA. 3. Testing the modified class and program to ensure letter grades can now be entered and GPA calculated correctly.

1. Extend the previous exercise by implementing an addLetterGrade method.

This is similar to
addGrade except that it accepts a letter grade as a string (instead of a gradepoint). Use the updated
class to improve the GPA calculator by allowing the entry of letter grades.
Answer:

#! /usr/bin/python3
# [Link]
# Program to take credits and grades and return calculated GPA

2. Write a modified Button class that creates circular buttons. Call your class CButton and
implement the exact same methods that are in the existing Button class. Your constructor should
take the center of the button and its radius as normal parameters. Place your class in a module
called [Link]. Test your class by modifying [Link] to use your buttons.
