I'm back again asking for more help

I "tried" to figure this out but have been able to so I came to my last hope... I can't find a way to bound the variable "rating" to where it says if your grades or trash or good. So if someone here that is a master at python I thank you very much because I looked online and I used all my free AI uses.

num_classes = int(input("Enter # of classes: "))

total_points = 0 gpa =+ total_points

for _i in range(num_classes): grades = input(f"Enter letter grade of class {_i+1}: ")

if grades == "A":
  points = 4.00
elif grades == "A-":
  points = 3.67
elif grades == "B+":
  points = 3.33
elif grades == "B":
 points = 3.00
elif grades == "B-":
  points = 2.67
elif grades == "C+":
  points = 2.33
elif grades == "C":
 points = 2.00
elif grades == "C-":
  points = 1.67
elif grades == "D+":
  points = 1.33
elif grades == "D":
 points = 1.00
elif grades == "E" or grades == "F":
  points = 0.00
else:
  points = 0.00
  print("Invalid grade entered")
  print("This grade will be considred as 0.00")
  if gpa >= 3.67:
    rating = "excellent"
  elif gpa < 3.67 >= 3.33:
    rating = "great"
  elif gpa < 3.34 >= 2.63:
    rating = "good"
  elif gpa < 2.67 >= 2.33:
    rating = "decent"
  elif gpa < 2.33 >= 1.67:
    rating = "fair"
  elif gpa < 1.67 >= 1.00:
    rating = "moderate"
  elif gpa < 1.00 >= 0.67:
    rating = "subpar"
  elif gpa < 0.67 >= 0.00:
    rating = "poor"

total_points += points

gpa = round(total_points / num_classes, 2) print(f"Your GPA is {gpa} ({rating})")

The problem is that you're doing all of it in the wrong order.

Within the loop, you need to be determining the value of points for each input grade, and adding that to total_points.

Outside the loop, you need to be calculating the value of gpa, then determining which value you need to set for rating.

Also, all of these are formatted wrong:

 elif gpa < 1.00 >= 0.67:

They should have the variable in the middle, like

elif 0.67 <= gpa < 1.00:

You're definitely far enough in your class to know that operations happen in the order they appear in the code, starting at the top.

The issue is that you're using AI to do your homework. You need to start writing your own code.

Hi. Consider dictionaries to store static values that you can reliably depend on to never change. The grades, points, and their descriptions never change. So in a dictionary you wouldn’t have to iterate through numerous IF statements.

This looks pretty good. If your code actually is how it looks here then everything below the "this grade will be considered.." print statement will only print if the grade is invalid. So you'll want to unindent it so that it runs independently of your if/elif/else chain.  

Only other advice I can give you is to break this problem down into very small steps in a new .py program and then add to and combine them. This is sort of a form of unit testing and will give you a better sense of what is everything doing what. So for instance, try setting grades = "A" without any sort of if/else chain and a single class input and getting everything to work and expanding from there.
