I am currently trying to make my program work into two functions with a simple a GPA calculator on Python. I must create a function that has one parameter (it accepts one string as input) and returns a number. The purpose of this function is to convert the letter grade into the numeric equivalent. This function should not print anything or prompt the user to enter any values. I will need to call this function four (4) times in my program.

I will then create another function that has one parameter (it accepts one number as input) and returns a string. The purpose of this function is to produce a message about the graduation status when given a GPA. This function should not print anything itself or prompt the user to enter any values.

After I have calculated the GPA, I will call this second function to get the message that should be shown to the user and then print it. Here is my code so for, I am having a hard time crating the two functions that go in there.

sum1=0.0

for i in range(4):

e=input("Enter a grade: ")

if(e=="A"):

sum1=sum1+4.0

elif(e=="B"):

sum1=sum1+3.0

elif(e=="C"):

sum1=sum1+2.0

elif(e=="D"):

sum1=sum1+1.0

elif(e=="F"):

sum1=sum1+0.0

else:

sum1=sum1

sum1=sum1/4

print("GPA is "+str(sum1))

if(sum1>=3.2 and sum1

print("Student can graduate Ccum laude.")

elif(sum1>=3.6 and sum1

print("Student can graduate magna Ccum laude.")

elif(sum1=3.8>

print("Student can graduate Summa Ccum laude.")

elif(sum1>=2.0 and sum1

print("Student is eligible to graduate.")

else:

print("Student cannot graduate.")
