Final outputs aren't printing after inputting values-CodePudding

I'm new to lists in python and trying to write a code where one inputs 10 numbers using a list and the following is performed:

Copy the number which is even to a new list named "EvenList" and output that new list.
Output the average of the numbers stored in the new list.

Here is my code:

List=[]
EvenList=[]
totalnum=0
count=0
for i in range(10):
    List.append(int(input("Enter a number: ")))
    
    while List[i]%2==0:
        EvenList.append(List[i])
        totalnum=totalnum List[i]
        count=count 1


print(EvenList)
average=totalnum/count
print("Average: ", average)

Whenever I run this module, after inputting my values my outputs (both the EvenList and average) aren't printed. Here's the output I get:

Example 1:

Enter a number: 1
Enter a number: 2

Example 2:

Enter a number: 1
Enter a number: 1
Enter a number: 1
Enter a number: 1
Enter a number: 1
Enter a number: 1
Enter a number: 1
Enter a number: 1
Enter a number: 1
Enter a number: 2

By further analysis, I realized whenever an even number was inputted, that's when the code gave an empty output. So I'm speculating my error lies in line 8 - 11 (there may be even more).

I so far changed my inital code: List[i]=int(input("Enter a number: ")) and EvenList[index]=(List[i]) to List.append(int(input("Enter a number: "))) and EvenList.append(List[i]) respectively - which I'm still confused as to why the intial code isn't considered to be correct since I thought they did the exact same thing [if someone could explain, it'd be very appreciated] - but that didn't fix this error.

CodePudding user response：

It's because in while loop condition, if the number is even it gets stuck in infinite loop, instead of while add if:

List=[]
EvenList=[]
totalnum=0
count=0
for i in range(10):
    List.append(int(input("Enter a number: ")))
    
    if List[i]%2==0:
        EvenList.append(List[i])
        totalnum=totalnum List[i]
        count=count 1


print(EvenList)
average=totalnum/count
print("Average: ", average)
