Question

Directions: Write a code for the following programming exercise in PYTHON!!!!!!!

-Design a program that lets the user enter the total rainfall for each of 12 months into a list. The program should calculate and display the total rainfall for the year, the average monthly rainfall, and the months with the highest and lowest amounts.

Here is what i got so far, but for some reason this code only print the Minimum and Maximum. its not printing the Average.

def main():
lst = []
x=0
rain = [0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0]
Month = [ 'January', 'February', 'March', 'April', 'May', 'June', 'July','August','September', 'October', 'November','December']
print("Enter the amount of rain for ",Month[x])
rain[x] = float(input("Enter the amount of rain: "))
for x in range(12):
lst.append(eval(input()))
highest = lst[0]
lowest = lst[0]
avg = 0
total = 0
for y in lst:
if(highest < y):
highest = y
if(lowest > y):
lowest = y
total+=rain[x]
avg = total/12
print("Maximum =",highest)
print("Minimum =",lowest)
print("Average =",avg)
main()

Answer 1

Code:

def main():
    rain = []
    Month = [ 'January', 'February', 'March', 'April', 'May', 'June', 'July','August','September', 'October', 'November','December']

    for x in range(12):
        print("Enter the amount of rain for ",Month[x])
        r = float(input("Enter the amount of rain: "))
        rain.append(r)
        highest = rain[0]
        lowest = rain[0]
        for y in rain:
            if(highest < y):
                highest = y
            if(lowest > y):
                lowest = y
    avg = sum(rain)/12
    print("Total rainfall for the year =",sum(rain))
    print("Maximum =",highest)
    print("Minimum =",lowest)
    print("Average =",avg)
main()

Output:
