Question

Given a variable temps that refers to a list, all of whose elements refer to values of type float , representing temperature data, compute the average temperature and assign it to a variable named avg_temp . Besides temps and avg_temp , you may use two othervariables -- k and total .

My solution below didn't work. I wonder how to go about this problem.

temps = []

avg_temp = 0.0
total = 0.0

for k in range(temps):
total += k

avg_temp = total/len(temps)

Answer 1

The problem of the question code is as follows:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. There must be the items in the list: The above question code is in python language. The temps are a list type variable that is used to hold the collection of items or value. But in the above code, there is no item in the K list. So first remove this problem with the help of add the value on the list. There are two ways to add value to the list:- 1. Define the static list element by writing like "temps=[1.2,2.4,4.5]". and 2. Take input from the user and then add by "temps.append(item)".
2. The syntax of the for loop: The syntax of the for loop is not right because it holds the "range" keyword which is written when we give the numeric value like, "for x in range(2)" or "for x in range(1,2)". So to correct for syntax the user needs to write "for k in temps:".

If the user removes the above-defined error from the code then the above code will run correctly
