Question

This is in python. I need to ask the user to enter some numbers, average, min, max, and sort them in numerical order. I also have to check that the user actually entered a number and if they didn't to just skip over that input but still execute based on the numbers they did enter. This is what I have so far.

def randomList(userInput):

    while True:
        userInput = eval(input("Enter some numbers:"))
        randomList = []
        randomList.append(userInput)
        return sum(randomList)/len(randomList)

Answer 1

The code is commented and variables are named accordingly.

See code screenshot for indentation. It is important in python.

Code:

# input the numbers
userInput = input("Enter space seperated numbers: ")
# creating list of numbers
userInput = userInput.split(" ")
randomList=[]
# appending numbers to list
for num in userInput:

# try is used to handle if number is not entered
try:

# converting to float
num= float(num)
randomList.append(num)

except:

pass

n= len(randomList)
# if some numbers are entered
if n!=0:

mini= randomList[0]
maxi= randomList[0]
average=0
for num in randomList:

mini= min(mini,num)
maxi= max(maxi,num)
average+=num

average/=n
#sorting
randomList.sort()
print("average is "+str(average))
print("min is "+str(mini))
print("max is "+str(maxi))
print("sorted numbers are "+str(randomList))

else:

print("No numbers entered")
