Assignment 1

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 [1]:

    
list_of_numbers = [1,5,3,7,1,7]
def get_sum():
    sumsum = 0
    for number in list_of_numbers:
        sumsum += number
    return sumsum



In [3]:

    
def get_mean():
    return get_sum()/len(list_of_numbers)



In [4]:

    
get_mean()
