Program Explanation

1. Take the letter as input and store it in the variable grade.
2. Convert the input letter into its uppercase using function toupper().
3. Using switch statement, verify the input letter.
4. If the letter is S, then copy the string ” SUPER” into the variable remark and break.
5. If the letter is A, then copy the string ” VERY GOOD” into the variable remark and break.
6. If the letter is B, then copy the string ” FAIR” into the variable remark and break.
7. If the letter is Y, then copy the string ” ABSENT” into the variable remark and break.
8. If the letter is F , then copy the string ” FAILS” into the variable remark and break.
9. In the default case, copy the string ” ERROR IN GRADE” into the variable remark and break.
10. Print the variable remark as output and exit.
