Fancy Houses' number of prices above average price...why is this not working?

Question

prices = [125000, 78000, 110000, 65000, 300000, 250000, 210000, 150000, 165000, 140000, 125000, 85000, 90000, 128000, 230000, 225000, 100000, 300000]
#your code goes here
x=sum(prices)
y=len(prices)
avge=int(x/y)

for n in prices:
if n<avge:
prices.remove(n)
print(len(prices))

Answer 1

do we have to print the numbers which are greater than the average??
if yes then:

You used
...
n<avge
...

Answer 2

This is one of the common issues in python loops.
You may try using list comprehension, lambda or count method to overcome this issue.

Answer 3

# why this is not working?
# because the way how python handles iterations

# take a look at this example it is similar to your problem

x = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']

for i in x:
print(i)
x.remove(i)

print(x)

# output of the above code is
# a
# c
# e
# ['b', 'd']

# why ?
# why python skipped those two elements and not removed them ?
'''

1st iteration :

the value of i is 'a' the 0th index, we are printing it and then removing it on the next line
so the new list will be
a = ['b', 'c', 'd', 'e']

2nd iteration :
value of i will be 'c' because this is second iteration and iterator donno that we have removed the element from the list so the value of i will be 1th index which is 'c'
so it will print it and will remove it ..

so the new list will be ['b', 'd', 'e']
3rd iteration :
the value of i will be 'e' because on 3rd iteration python uses 2nd index value from list which is 'e' and will print it and will remove it

Answer 4

Note: indexing starts from 0th

So this is why python skipps the elements and behaves unexpected!
Hope you got it !

Answer 5

You can do this by creating 2 list compherasian

The 1st list will loop over and add it all together

Then second can just filter the price

You then print second list

#Fancy Houses' number of prices above average price...why is this not working?

thats how i solved itvvv

prices = [125000, 78000, 110000, 65000, 300000, 250000, 210000, 150000, 165000, 140000, 125000, 85000, 90000, 128000, 230000, 225000, 100000, 300000]

k = [i for i in prices]
m = sum((k)) / len(k)

p = [i for i in k if i > m]

print(len(p))
