This is how much each section is weighted (percent wise)

Let’s say a student receives the following scores:

Code Functionality (Weight: 40%):
- Score: 4/4 = 90%
- 90% of 40 = 0.90 × 40 = 36 points
Code Efficiency (Weight: 25%):
- Score: 3/4 = 83.33%
- 83.33% of 25 = 0.8333 × 25 = 20.83 points
Creativity and Innovation (Weight: 20%):
- Score: 4/4 = 90%
- 90% of 20 = 0.90 × 20 = 18 points
Documentation and Comments (Weight: 15%):
- Score: 3/4 = 83.33%
- 83.33% of 15 = 0.8333 × 15 = 12.5 points
