Question

"PYTHON"

Write some code " USING PYTHON" to keep reading numbers from the user until the users enters a negative number. The program then prints out:

a) the sum of all the numbers

b) the average of all the numbers

c) the max of the numbers

d) the min of the numbers

Note we did not cover lists (array) so you will not use them in this problem.

Finally, ask the user for their name, then print their name as many times as the max value (determined earlier) . Note, I want you to use a for loop for this part.

Answer 1

Here is the completed code for this problem. Comments are included, go through it, learn how things work and let me know if you have any doubts or if you need anything to change. If you are satisfied with the solution, please rate the answer. Thanks

Note: Please maintain proper code spacing (indentation), just copy the code part and paste it in your compiler/IDE directly, no modifications required.

EDIT: updated the code to include counters for printing name

#code

def main():
    #initializing sum, count, average to 0
    sum=0
    count=0
    avg=0
    #initializing two variables to store max and min values to None
    maxVal=None
    minVal=None

    #looping indefinitely
    while True:
        #reading a number
        num=int(input("Enter a number (negative to end): "))
        #exiting the loop if the number is negative
        if num<0:
            break
        #adding num to sum
        sum+=num
        #updating count
        count+=1
        #if maxVal is not initialized or if it is greater than current maxVal, updating
        #maxVal to current value
        if maxVal is None or num>maxVal:
            maxVal=num
        #doing the same for minVal, checking if num is less than minVal
        if minVal is None or num<minVal:
            minVal=num
    #after exiting loop, if count is above 0, finding average
    if count>0:
        avg=sum/count
    #printing stats
    print("Sum of numbers:",sum)
    print("Average of numbers:",avg)
    print("Maximum of numbers:", maxVal)
    print("Minimum of numbers:", minVal)
    #reading name
    name=input("Enter your name: ")
    #using a for loop, printing name maxVal times
    for i in range(maxVal):
        print(str(i+1)+". "+name)

#invoking main()
main()
