Help/FAQ 21.6 LAB*: Program: Grade calculator Program Specifications Write a program to calculate a course grade given points for homework, quizzes, midterm exam, and final exam. Grades are calculated differently for undergrads, grads and distance learners. Note: this program is designed for incremental development. Complete each step and submit for grading before starting the next step. Only a portion of tests pass after each step but confirm progress. Step 1 (2 pts). Read from input student status (str). If input is not one of "UG" (undergrad), "G" (grad), or "DL' (distance learner), print an error message and exit the program. Otherwise read from input floats for homework points, quiz points, midterm exam score, and final exam score. Calculate each category's average using maximum points for homework (800), quizzes (400), midterm exam (150), and final exam (200). Output category averages as a percentage using print(f"Homework: {homework:2.1f}%"). Submit for grading to confirm two tests pass. Ex: If the input is: UG 600.0 300.0 120.0 185.0 The output is: Homework: 75.0% Quizzes: 75.0% Midterm: 80.0% Final Exam: 92.5% Ex: If the input is: TL 600 300 120 180 Rain coming

Pointers are the special variable that stores the variable address, instead of storing the variable value. Pointer is a powerful feature of a programming language. A pointer is mostly used to save memory space and improve execution time.
