|---|
Step 1: Get inputs/outputs needed to solve the problem
Step 2: Write the program
####################################

# This program is used to convert
# a mark into its approparite
# letter grade
## Get mark from the user
mark = input("Please enter your marks:")
if (mark >= 75):
print "Your grade is above average"
elif (mark >= 70):
print "Your grade is average"
elif (mark <= 65):
print "Your grade is below average"
else:
print "This is not a valid mark. Please input another mark."
