Question

Write a Python script that will collect 5 grades (float) from the student via input and obtain the average.

requirements:

a. Collect 5 floating grades from student

b. Obtain the average of the grades

Answer 1

# taking each input number on new line

print("enter five numbers")  #to display message to input numbers

sum=0                        # initializing sum to 0 to store sum of all numbers in future

for i in range(5):           #for loop to take input of five float numbers

    number=float(input())          #storing the input in variable 'number'

    sum+=number                 #after taking input we add the number to sum  (alternate line of code:sum=sum+number)

average=sum/5                      #calculating average

print("average of five numbers is :",average)              #printing average

###alternate code to take input of numbers on same line(space seperated):

# print("enter five numbers") #to display message to input numbers

# sum=0                        # initializing sum to 0 to store sum of all numbers in future

# number=list(map(float,input().split()))[:5]         #storing the input in list 'number'

# for i in range(5):

#     sum+=number[i]           #after taking input we add the number to sum  (alternate line of code:sum=sum+number)

# average=sum/5                      #calculating average

# print("average of five numbers is :",average)              #printing average
