Working with Interfaces
Greetings everyone. Sorry if this is a bit long, but I'm at my wits end. The program I'm working on is suppose to take the user input for grades (Name and grades, ie A, B, C, all uppercase), store it, and output the number of Graduates, the Current Gradute's GPA, and the Average of all the Graduates, up to 10. When prompted, the program should show each of the graduate's name's and GPA's, in descending order.
Right now, whenever I try to add a graduate, I get the following error. Am I not calling getGraduateGPA correctly?
