This project is a simple web-based GPA Calculator that allows users to input their course information, credits, and grades to calculate their GPA. It uses HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for the frontend and logic. Additionally, users can directly paste their results into the website, and the tool will scrape the report to calculate the GPA automatically.
- Dynamic Input Fields: Add multiple courses with ease.
- Copy-Paste Functionality: Paste your grade report directly into the application to auto-populate course data and calculate the GPA.
- Dropdown Menus: Select grades from dropdowns to minimize manual input errors.
- Real-time GPA Calculation: Results are displayed as soon as inputs are submitted.
- Error Handling: Handles invalid or missing inputs gracefully.
- Open the Application: Load the HTML file in any modern web browser.
- Add Courses (if not using copy-paste):
- Click the "Add Course" button to add fields for a new course.
- Enter the course details:
- Course Name: Input the course name.
- Credits: Enter the course credits.
- Grade: Select the grade received for the course from the dropdown.
- Paste Your Report (Alternative): Copy your grade report and paste it into the designated input area. The application will automatically scrape the information and populate the necessary fields.
- Calculate GPA: Click the "Calculate GPA" button to view your GPA. The result will be displayed at the bottom of the form.
The following grade-to-point mapping is used:
| Grade | Points |
|---|---|
| A+ | 10 |
| A | 9 |
| B+ | 8 |
| B | 7 |
| C+ | 6 |
| C | 5 |
| D | 4 |
| E | 3 |
| F | 0 |
You can modify the following aspects to suit your needs:
- Grade Mapping: Update the
gradeMapobject in the script to adjust grade-to-point conversions. - Styling: Enhance the design by adding a separate CSS file or modifying the existing inline styles.
- Validation Rules: Extend validation logic to handle specific use cases, such as decimal credits or additional grade systems.
- Save course data locally using browser storage.
- Allow importing and exporting course lists as CSV files.
- Add support for custom grading systems.
- Improve copy-paste parsing for broader report formats.
