How It Works:

  1. The user inputs their current grade, desired grade, and the weight of the final exam.
  2. The calculator checks if the inputs are valid numbers and within the acceptable range.
  3. If the inputs are valid, it calculates the required final grade using the formula.
  4. Based on the calculated result, it displays a message indicating the required score on the final exam to achieve the desired grade.
  5. If the required final grade is impossible (e.g., higher than 100% or negative), appropriate messages are displayed.
  6. The user can then choose to calculate another grade or reset the form.
