Question

Consider the list x=[10, 20, 45, 68, 90, 100.35]. Write a simple code that computes the average of the numbers in this list.

If I asked you to tell me what the maximum number in the list is, what would you do mentally. Think about how you determine the maximum value in the list.

with simple python code

Expert Solution
Introduction

Finding Average: Calculate the sum of all array elements and divide with the number of the elements.

Average=Sum of n elements/n

 

Finding Max Value: Iterate all the elements in the array and compare the current max value with the new array element.

If the new element value is greater then assign the new value to the max value, and continue the same till the end of the array
