Build a Grade Calculator with Functions

Level: Beginner

Your task for today is to create a grade calculator that uses multiple functions to process student scores, calculate averages, determine letter grades, and generate a final report — demonstrating how functions help organize code into reusable pieces.

Project Task

Create a grade calculator that:

• Uses separate functions for different calculations

• Takes a list of test scores as input

• Calculates the average score using a function

• Converts numeric scores to letter grades using a function

• Determines pass/fail status using a function

• Generates a summary report using a function

• Shows how functions can call other functions

• Demonstrates function parameters and return values

This project gives you hands-on practice with function creation, parameters, return values, and code organization — essential skills for writing clean, maintainable, and reusable code.
