Question

Must be written in Python3

A particular talent competition has 7 judges, each of whole awards a score between 0 and 10 to each performer. A performer's final score is determined by dropping the highest and lowest score received, then averaging the 5 remaining scores. Define a class named ScoreCalculator that contains member variables and member functions based on the following:

member variables: list of scores

member function:

1) Initialization function: When creating an instance, create a score list as an initial value and store the created value as a member variable.

2) findHighest(): Functions that find and remove the highest score from member variables

3)findLowest(): Functions that find and remove the lowest score from member variables

4)calAvg() should calculate and return the average of the 5 scores that remain after dropping the highest and lowest scores the performer received.

You only need to define a class using only member variable(score) and 4 functions .

Answer 1

class ScoreCalculator:
    """
    score calculator class
    """

    def __init__(self, scores):
        """
        creating object with scores
        :param scores: list of score
        """
        self.scores = scores

    def findHighest(self):
        """
        function to return highest score
        :return: highest score
        """
        return max(self.scores)

    def findLowest(self):
        """
        function to return lowest score
        :return: lowest score
        """
        return min(self.scores)

    def calAvg(self):
        """
        function to calculate average of score
        it first remove the highest and lowest score
        by calling above methods
        it only removes the first occurance id same highest/lowest
        score repeated
        then it calculate the average
        :return:
        """
        self.scores.remove(self.findHighest())
        self.scores.remove(self.findLowest())
        return float(sum(self.scores)) / float(len(self.scores))


# Testing above code

if __name__ == '__main__':
    scores = [7, 1, 9, 6, 3, 5, 8]
    obj = ScoreCalculator(scores)
    print("Average score %.2f" % obj.calAvg())

Average score 5.80
