How do i create a number of inputs from an input-CodePudding

I'm brand new to this, 10 days in. Ive been thinking how I could solve this for 30 min. Please help.

Find Average

You need to calculate the average of a collection of values. Every value will be valid number. The average must be printed with two digits after the decimal point.

Input-

On the first line, you will receive N - the number of the values you must read On the next N lines you will receive numbers.

Output-

On the only line of output, print the average with two digits after the decimal point.
Input
4
1
1
1
1
Output
1.00

Input 
3
2.5
1.25
3
Output
2.25

From what I see, I figure I need to create as much inputs as the N of the first one is and then input the numbers Id like to avarage and then create a formula to avarage them. I may be completely wrong in my logic, in any case Id be happy for some advice.

So far I tried creating a while loop to create inputs from the first input. But have no clue how to properly sintax it and continue with making the new inputs into variables I can use

a=int(input())
x=1
while x<a or x==a:
    float(input())
    x=x 1

CodePudding user response：

a=int(input('Total number of input: '))

total = 0.0

for i in range(a):
    total  = float(input(f'Input #{i 1}: '))
    
print('average: ', total/a)

Modified a bit on your version to make it work

There were few things that you were doing wrong. when the numbers are decimals use float not int.

If you are looking for a single line input this should be how it's done.

When writing the code please use proper variables and add a string that's asking for the input.

total = 0

first_num=int(input("Number of inputs: "))
number = input("Enter numbers: ")
input_nums = number.split()
    

for i in range(first_num):
    total = total   int(input_nums[i])


average = total/first_num
print(average)

If you are looking for a multiline output This should be how it's done.


first_num=int(input("Number of inputs: "))
x=1
total = 0
while x<first_num or x==first_num:
    number = float(input("Enter numbers: "))
    total = total   number
    x=x 1

avg = total/first_num
print(avg)
