Program that asks me how many numbers i want, then lets me introduce those numbers, and then sums al-CodePudding

I'm sure this question has been answered millions of times but i couldn't make it work so if you happen to find the answer i solemnly ask you to copy-paste it for me. Thanks.

Need python to ask me how many numbers i want (x), then ask me for a number (x) amount of times, then sum all those numbers and divide it by (x). Here's what i tried and i'm not proud of.

counter=(int(input('how many numbers?: ')))

number= int(input('input first number: '))
strike=(0)
while(counter!=strike):
    num=(int(input('next number: ')))
    strike =1
    if(counter==strike):
        num=(int(input('next number: ')))
    elif(counter==strike):
        print(sum(number num)/counter)

CodePudding user response：

first of all, you can delete parenthesis in if and while loops cause they are unnecessary. second, after you get the first number you should set the strike to 1 it should look like something like this:

counter = (int(input('how many numbers?: ')))

number = int(input('input first number: '))
strike = 1
num = 0
while counter != strike:
    num  = (int(input('next number: ')))
    strike  = 1
ans = (num   number) / counter
print(ans)

You could try:

counter = int(input("How many numbers?\n>>>"))

num = 0
for i in range(0, counter):
num  = int(input(f"Enter number {i   1} please:\n>>>"))

result = num / counter
print(f"Result: {result}")

The f before the " in the string makes it an f-string which means you can use curly brackets, {}, to add a variable to your string easily. The for loop combined with the range function makes the code inside run for a specific amount of times.
