## Overview

45 out of 50 converts to exactly 90% (45 ÷ 50 × 100). Under the standard US grading scale, 90% and above earns an A worth 4.0 GPA points. Under the plus-minus system, 90–92% specifically earns an A−, which is 3.7 GPA points — two-thirds of a step below a full A. Which letter you receive depends on your institution's policy.

## Method

The calculation iterates through an ordered list of grade bands and returns the first band whose minimum and maximum percentage bounds (inclusive) contain the input score. The standard scale uses five bands (A, B, C, D, F) and assigns GPA points of 4.0, 3.0, 2.0, 1.0, and 0.0 respectively. The plus-minus scale uses thirteen bands (A+ through F) with GPA points drawn from the widely published US 4.0 system (source: back2college.com and calculator.net). Input is validated with Zod to reject values outside 0–100 before any lookup is performed.
