Day 10: Working with Loops and Lists

Task: Use loops to manipulate and iterate over a list of numbers.

Description:
In this task, you will practice using loops to iterate through a list of numbers and perform operations on each element. The program will calculate the sum, the average, and find the maximum and minimum values from a list of numbers.

Key Steps:

  1. Create a List of Numbers:
    First, create a list of numbers either manually or by taking input from the user.

  2. Iterate through the List:
    Use a for loop to iterate over each element of the list and perform operations.

  3. Perform Calculations:
    • Calculate the sum of all numbers in the list.
    • Calculate the average of the numbers.
    • Find the maximum and minimum values in the list.
  4. Output Results:
    After the loop completes, output the sum, average, maximum, and minimum values.

Example:

1.Create a list of numbers

1

numbers = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50]

2.Initialize variables to store results

1
2
3

sum_of_numbers = 0
max_number = numbers[0]
min_number = numbers[0]

3.Loop through the list to calculate sum, max, and min

for number in numbers:
    sum_of_numbers += number
    if number > max_number:
        max_number = number
    if number < min_number:
        min_number = number

4.Calculate the average

1

average = sum_of_numbers / len(numbers)

5.Output the results

print("Sum:", sum_of_numbers)            # Output: Sum: 150
print("Average:", average)               # Output: Average: 30.0
print("Maximum:", max_number)            # Output: Maximum: 50
print("Minimum:", min_number)            # Output: Minimum: 10
