1. What is Egyptian GPA Calculation?

The Egyptian GPA system calculates a student's academic performance by weighting each course grade by its credit hours. This provides a comprehensive measure of overall academic achievement across different courses with varying workloads.

Where:

• \( grades \) — Individual course grades (unitless)
• \( credits \) — Credit hours for each course (hours)
• \( total\_credits \) — Sum of all credit hours

Explanation: Each course grade is multiplied by its credit hours, summed together, then divided by the total credit hours to get the weighted average.
