Where am I going wrong with the average

Question

https://code.sololearn.com/cV9bhbHGv5Jy/?ref=app

Answer 1

wrong:
for height in heights:
h += height
count +=1
average = height / count

right:
for height in heights:
h += height
count +=1
average = h / count

Answer 2

You're calculating it wrong, you use the last height-value and divide it by the number of heights instead of dividing the sum of all heights.

Answer 3

I just noticed that thank you for your help and patience with me I thought I had that variable in there properly so I thought it was my implementation of the math in python

Answer 4

Did you run the code or just read it the height value being used is the sum of the heights

Answer 5

This is my first app that itterates through an array

Answer 6

No for an actual average your supposed to take the sum and divide by the number

Answer 7

Yes and this is exactly what you're NOT doing... As I wrote...

Answer 8

This is the first time I've down voted my comment to highlight the help I was given and that's cause I'm sure there are hundreds out there making that same mistake
