/**
 * Exercise 7: Grade Calculator
 * PT821 - Object-Oriented Programming
 *
 * TASK:
 * Create a program that:
 * 1. Asks the user for their exam score (0-100)
 * 2. Validates the input (must be between 0 and 100)
 * 3. Determines the grade using this scale:
 *    - 90-100: A (Excellent)
 *    - 80-89:  B (Very Good)
 *    - 70-79:  C (Good)
 *    - 60-69:  D (Satisfactory)
 *    - 50-59:  E (Pass)
 *    - Below 50: F (Fail)
 * 4. Displays whether the student passed or failed
 *
 * CONCEPTS PRACTICED:
 * - if-else if-else statements
 * - Input validation
 * - Comparison operators
 * - Logical operators
