Python:

import random
from tabulate import tabulate

select the marks

gradePoints = {“A”:4,”B”:3,”C”:2,”D”:1,”F”:0}
courseList = [“CST 161″,”Mat 144″,”ENG 201″,”PSY 101″,”HIS 101”]
gradeList = [“A”,”B”,”C”,”D”,”F”]
creditList = [3,4]

data = []
total_credit = 0
sums = 0

input the number of course that you want to select randomly

n = int(input(“Enter the number of courses : “))
for i in range(n):
  temp = []
  #for courses
  k = random.randint(0,4)
  temp.append(courseList[k])
  #for credits
  k = random.randint(0,1)
  total_credit += creditList[k]
  temp.append(creditList[k])
  #for grades
  k = random.randint(0,4)
  temp.append(gradeList[k])
  #for gradepoints
  sums += gradePoints[gradeList[k]] * temp[1]
  temp.append(gradePoints[gradeList[k]] * temp[1])

  data.append(temp)

print(tabulate(data,headers = [“Course”,”Credits”,”Grade”,”Value Per Course”]))
print(f”Total credits taken: {total_credit}”)
print(f”Total quality points earned : {sums}”)

The Correct Answer and Explanation is :

Explanation:

1. Imports and Initialization:

• The code uses random to select courses, grades, and credits randomly, and tabulate to format the output into a table.
• gradePoints stores the numeric values for letter grades, where A=4, B=3, etc.
• courseList, gradeList, and creditList define the courses, possible grades, and credit hours that will be used for the random selection.

1. Data Collection:

• The user is prompted to input the number of courses they want to select.
• A loop runs n times, selecting a course, credit hours, and grade randomly for each iteration. For each course selected, its grade points (calculated as gradePoints[grade] * credit) are accumulated in the variable sums.
• The total credit hours (total_credit) are also accumulated.

1. Tabulate Output:

• The tabulate() function is used to present the data in a neat tabular format with headers for each column: “Course”, “Credits”, “Grade”, and “Value Per Course.”

1. Calculation of Total Credits and Quality Points:

• Finally, after the loop, the total number of credits and total quality points earned are displayed.

Key Fixes:

• Indentation Issues: Python is very sensitive to indentation. The original code had strange characters (ÂÂ) and inconsistent indentation, which have been fixed.
• Correct Calculation of Grade Points: The grade points for each course are now correctly calculated by multiplying the credit hours with the grade’s corresponding value.
• Fixed Looping and Data Appending: Ensured that data was being correctly appended into the data list.

This code simulates selecting random courses, grades, and credits, and then calculates and displays the total credits and grade points.
