You won't be creating a file from scratch for this lab. Instead, you'll be given a file that contains some starting code. This starting code only solves the "easy" part of the lab — you will still have to do the bulk of the work!
To practice using while loops and lists, you will be creating a program that fills a list with courses the user is taking, and then empties that list while asking for, and totaling, the raw grade for each course. Finally, you'll average the raw grades, and tell the user the answer.
This lab is on while loops, so even if you have learned
them in class this week, or know them from
your previous programming
experience, DO NOT use for loops to solve
this lab.
After logging into GL, navigate to the Labs directory inside your 201 folder. Create a folder there calledl lab5, and go inside the newly created lab5 directory.
