Question

Instructions

A particular talent competition has five judges, each of whom awards a score between 0 and 10 to each performer. Fractional scores, such as 8.3, are allowed. A performer’s final score is determined by dropping the highest and lowest score received, then averaging the three remaining scores. Write a program in Python that uses this method to calculate a contestant’s score. It should include the following functions:

• getJudgeData( ) should ask the user for a judge’s score, and validate it. This function should be called by main once for each of the five judges and must return the score entered by the user.
• calcScore( ) should calculate and display the average of the three scores that remain after dropping the highest and lowest scores the performer received. This function should be called just once by main and should be passed the five scores. This function does not return any values.

      The last two functions, described below, should be called by calcScore, which uses the returned information to determine which of the scores to drop.

• findLowest( ) should find and return the lowest of the five scores passed to it.
• findHighest( ) should find and return the highest of the five scores passed to it.

        Input Validation: Do not accept judge scores lower than 0 and higher than 10.

General Restrictions:

1. No Global variables
2. No labels or go-to statements
3. No infinite loops in your programs; these are loops that do not have a definite logical expression of other condition to signal when the loops ought to terminate.
4. No break statements to exit loops

Answer 1

#Python code
def getJudgeData():
    lst=[]
    for i in range(5):
        score=int(input("Enter the score between 0 and 10:"))
        while  score<0 or score>10:
            print("Value can only between 0 and 10,Enter again")
            score = int(input("Enter the score between 1 and 10:"))
        lst.append(score)
    return lst

def findLowest(scores):
    minVal=min(scores)
    return minVal
def findHighest(scores):
    maxVal=max(scores)
    return maxVal

def calcScore(scores):
    minVal=findLowest(scores)
    maxVal=findHighest(scores)
    scores.remove(minVal)
    scores.remove(maxVal)
    sum=0
    for x in scores:
        sum=sum+x
    average=sum/3
    print("{:.1f}".format(average))

def main():
    scores=getJudgeData()
    calcScore(scores)

if __name__=="__main__":
    main()

OUTPUT:
