average = total / count
while PEnd !="Q" :
    total = total   value
    average = 0.0
    value = int(input("Enter an input value: "))
    total = total   value
    count = 1
     value = int(input("Enter an input value: "))
     PEnd = input("Enter character Q to quit or any other character to continue:
    ")
    PEnd = " "
    PEnd = input("Enter character Q to quit or any other character to continue: ")
    total = 0
     count = count   1
    print("The average is: ", average)

Anyone know how to rearrange this code so that when the values that are inputted are 3 4 8 4 , the average is 4.75. have tried rewriting it and getting average as 2 with code below and 4 when count = 0

here's my try:

PEnd = " "
while PEnd !="Q" :
    value = int(input("Enter an input value: "))
    average = 0.0
    total = 0
    count = 1
    total = total   value
    count = count   1
    average = total / count

    PEnd = input("Enter character Q to quit or any other character to continue: ")
    
print("The average is: ", average)

break your program into its parts

1. get a bunch of integers from the user
2. average those numbers
3. print the result

It helps me to actually break my program into its logical components so i would start with just getting a list of numbers

import re
def get_ints():
    while True:
       user_input = input("enter a number or numbers(or nothing to quit)")
       if not user_input:
          break
       for a_number in re.findall("\d ",user_input):
           yield int(a_number)

a_bunch_of_numbers = list(get_ints())
# you could enter 1 number at a time or a list of numbers seperated by non-numbers
print(a_bunch_of_numbers) # looks right :)

assuming(and verifying) that part works i move on to the next part of creating the average

average = sum(a_bunch_of_numbers)/len(a_bunch_of_numbers)
# or numpy.mean(a_bunch_of_numbers)

finally all i need to do is print the result

Try initializing the variables before you start your while loop (see below).

PEnd = " "
count = 0
total = 0
while PEnd !="Q" :
    value = int(input("Enter an input value: "))
    total  = value
    count  = 1
    PEnd = input("Enter character Q to quit or any other character to continue: ")
average = total / count
    
print("The average is: ", average)
