SPECIFICATION
 I want a program to ask a student for their percentage mark, and
convert this to a grade.
 The conversion will be done in a function called mark_grade
 I want you to complete the function.

the grades above.
You can open this code from
mark_to_grade start in lesson 6 folder.

 What was most difficult in the program?
 What was most fun?
 What question would you like to ask the teacher?
 Write these 3 answers in your self evaluation book.
JOKE TIME
 You are to write a program that asks a user for their favourite number
and then tells them a joke. The program will call a joke printing function
with the users favourite number.
