Write a function that takes in a list of numbers and outputs the mean of the numbers using the formula for mean. Do this without any built-in functions like sum(), len(), and, of course, mean()

def get_mean(list):
list_of_numbers = 0

for item in list:
list_of_numbers += item
list_of_items = list_of_items + 1
return list_of_numbers / list_of_items

numbers = [1,2,3,4,5]
