Edit and run

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()



In [ ]:

    
user_input = input("Enter a list of numbers ")



In [48]:

    
user_list = user_input.split(',')
print(user_list)









    



['1', '1', '1', '1', '1']



In [49]:

    
int_list = [int(i) for i in user_list]
print(int_list)









    



[1, 1, 1, 1, 1]



In [50]:

    
def mean_of_num(z):
    count = 0
    sum_num = 0 
    for i in z:
        sum_num = sum_num+1 
        count = count+1
        mean_num = sum_num / count
    return mean_num
