help please

Question

Im doing python's data structures and im in the 2nd project wich i have to calculate the average word length. And i need to divide the sum of all word lengths by the number of words in the sentence.
example taked it by the project:
Sample Input:
this is some text
Sample Output:
3.5
Explanation: There are 4 words in the given input, with a total of 14 letters, so the average length will be: 14/4 = 3.5

and my code takes the spaces as a character and i dont know how to not do it,i used strip() but it didnt work and im gonna try a different way:
texto = input()
lista=texto.split()
resultado=texto/len(lista)
print(resultado)

Answer 1

That's great

Answer 2

resultado should hold sum of length of each word divided by number of words (mean of word length): len(lista) give you the number of words, but texto is the input text...

you should iterate lista and add each word length, then divide the result by len(lista)

resultado = 0
for word in lista:
resultado += len(word)
resultado /= len(lista)

Answer 3

Thank you very much for your help ill try the code

Answer 4

Thank you very much visph for yout help

Answer 5

text = input()
L_text=text.split()
cont=0
for palabra in L_text:
for letra in palabra:
cont+=1
print(cont/len(L_text))

Answer 6

text = input()
L_text=text.split()
count=0
for palabra in L_text:
for letra in palabra:
count+=1
print(count/len(L_text))

Answer 7

a="hey world hello"
b=a.split()
print(sum(list(len(i) for i in b))/len(b))

Or

a="hey world hello"
b=a.split()
add=0
for i in b:
add+=len(i)
print(add/len(b))
