Python 19 | Calculating Average Exercise

Just got another simple exercise from ChatGPT today where A user can add numbers to a list and then an average is calculated 🙂

# This Python program calculates the average of list of numbers

def get_user_numbers(list):
    counter = 1
    print('Add as many numbers as you want. type "done" when finished')
    while True:
        user_input = input(f'Number {counter}: ')
        if user_input == 'done':
            print('you finished adding numbers.')
            break
        try:
            list.append(float(user_input))
            counter += 1
        except ValueError:
            print('Please enter a Number.')

def sum_up(list):
    sum = 0
    for number in list:
        sum = sum + int(number)
    return sum

def average(list):
    # Calculate the sum of all the numbers in the list.
    sum = sum_up(list)
    number_of_elements = len(list)
    average = sum/number_of_elements
    return average

def main():
    # Create a list of numbers (you can define it in your code).
    numbers_list = []
    get_user_numbers(numbers_list)

    # Calculate the average by dividing the sum by the number of elements in the list.
    result = average(numbers_list)

    # Print the calculated average.
    print(f'the average is {result}.')

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
