1. What is the Helwan GPA Calculator?

The Helwan GPA Calculator computes a student's Grade Point Average using the standard formula that multiplies each course grade by its credit hours, sums these products, and divides by the total credit hours.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard GPA formula:

\[ GPA = \frac{\sum(grades \times credits)}{total\_credits} \]

Where:

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

Explanation: The formula calculates a weighted average where courses with more credit hours have a greater impact on the final GPA.
