Question (Python)

Question

My friend challenged me to do a code where it averages numbers (Pretty simple right?) But I want to make the user chose how many numbers they want to average.

How can I do this? (In Python)

Answer 1

length=int(input("How Many Numbers? "))

average=0

for i in range(length):
x=int(input())
average=average+x

print(average/length)

There are alot of ways. This code asks how many numbers and then averages them together.

You could use a while loop that takes numbers indefinitely until told to stop.

Ultimately, you have a problem. break it down.

What do you want? For user to input how many numbers they want to average together.. ok, take the input

howMany=int(input("How many numbers?")

now you want to take that many numbers and average them together. ok. you already know how many there will be. put it thru a loop to ask for that many numbers.

for i in range(howMany):

now for each run of the loop, get a number and add it to the numbers you already have. have them all?

divide by howMany and you will have your average.

Take things 1 step at a time. before you know it, you have a code that does what you want
