Question

Project 3

At a diving competition, the scores for one dive are determined by a panel of judges. The final score is calculated by:

* adding together all scores EXCEPT the highest and lowest scores

* that sum is then multiplied by 1.2

* that product is then multiplied by 0.6

You are to write a Python program which:

* allows the user to enter 6 scores provided by the judges

* the scores are to be placed in a list (you can create the list of scores, or append each score to an existing list)

*print out the scores you have stored in the list (make sure the [ ] is not printed)

* calculate the adjusted sum of the scores in the list (sum w/o max and min) print this sum. Hint: the list functions sum min and max will help here

* calculate the final score and print that score. Make sure that your final score is printed ONLY showing 3 decimal positions.

Be sure that your program is well-commented so that it is easily read. Also be sure that all user prompts are well-worded so that the user knows what is expected. Output values should be labeled so that it is clear what results are being printed.

Answer 1

thanks for the question, here is the fully implemented code in python with detailed comments. Let me know in case you have any questions or doubts

===========================================================================================

# create an empty list that will store the judges score
judge_scores=[]

# within a for loop which executes 6 times we take in the score for 6 judges
for i in range(1,7):
    score = float(input('Enter judge{} score: '.format(i)))
  judge_scores.append(score)

# print the scores
print(', '.join([str(s) for s in judge_scores]))

# first find out the max score and min score from the list using max and min functions
max_score = max(judge_scores)
min_score = min(judge_scores)
# adjusted sum = total score - max score - min score
print('Adjusted Score: {0:.3f}'.format(sum(judge_scores)-max_score-min_score))

## calculate final score
final_score = sum(judge_scores) - max_score - min_score
final_score *=1.2 # multiply the sum first with 1.2
final_score*=0.6 # multiply the product again with 0.6

## print the final score with 3 decimal point
print('Final Score: {0:.3f}'.format(final_score))
