Question

Can someone tell me why the output on this is 4 times?

Lloyd = {
"name":"Lloyd",
"homework": [90,97,75,92],
"quizzes": [ 88,40,94],
"tests": [75,90]
}

Tyler = {
"name":"Tyler",
"homework": [0,87,75,22],
"quizzes": [0,75,78],
"tests": [100,100]
}

student = ["Lloyd", "Alice", "Tyler"]

def average(student):
for person in student:
ave = float(sum(student["homework"]))/len(student["homework"])
print ave

average(Lloyd)

Answer 1

The print avg should be directly under the for

Answer 2

thanks, that did it!

Answer 3

actually your code is strange...what are you supposed to do? cause like that it gives only the average of the asked student but you have code u dont need at all.

Answer 4

Lloyd = {
"name":"Lloyd",
"homework": [90,97,75,92],
"quizzes": [ 88,40,94],
"tests": [75,90]
}

Tyler = {
"name":"Tyler",
"homework": [0,87,75,22],
"quizzes": [0,75,78],
"tests": [100,100]
}

Alice={
"name":"Tyler",
"homework": [0,87,75,22],
"quizzes": [0,75,78],
"tests": [100,100]
}

def average(student):
ave = float(sum(student["homework"]))/len(student["homework"])
print ave

average(Lloyd)

this does the same thing.

i set Alice as you didnt have her .
