getting average of group of numbers from a .txt file in python

Time:10-10

I am trying to get the average of a group of numbers in a .txt file. It worked when numbers are like this: every number on a separate line

363
186
262
247
:

but my .txt file is like this:

237, 321, 212, 379, 201, 247, 201, 204, 298, 130
285, 229, 167, 235, 353, 176, 130, 274, 337, 192
......

note: 1000 numbers. How to fix this?

This is what I tried:

import os

def averg_int(path):
   lst = []
   with open(path, "r") as file:
     for line in file: # Read one line at the time
        n = int(line.strip()) # Strip and convert to integer
        lst.append(n)
        avg=sum(lst)/len(last)
   return avg

CodePudding user response:

The problem is with n = int(line.strip()) part, because you have multiple numbers in a single line, you need to split them and then type cast to int:

n = [int(i.strip()) for i in line.split()]
