Hi there,
i'm struggling with a program, i feel like i am really close to getting it
but i cannot find a way to use the target variables inside of a loop:
I'm trying to get the program to ask the user, how many grades are you going
to enter. Then i want to work out the average which is fine. But then i
want the loop to print out from each grade entered the letter grade as per
my if statement. All it does is print the last grade out a certain number
of times. Is this even possible or am i overthinking it?
No, you're not over-thinking it, but you do have a few small errors in
your code:
Some code is:
def main():
gradesEntered = 0
score = 0
numberOfGrades = 0
#get the number of grades being checked
numberOfGrades = int(raw_input("Please enter the number of grades:" ))
#Begin a 'for' loop to enter each score
while numberOfGrades != gradesEntered:
grade = int(raw_input("Please enter the grade:" ))
gradesEntered += 1
score =+ grade
grade = [numberOfGrades]
Here you ask the user to enter a grade. Suppose they enter (say) 75.
Your program will store 75 in grade, and then a moment later over-write
that by storing [numberOfGrades] in grade.
I believe that what you need is to have a variable "grades" (note
plural), and each time around the while loop, you need to append the
current grade to the grades list.
Then, after you have collected all the grades, you can iterate over the
list to get each grade one at a time:
for grade in grades:
print grade
See how you go with that, and don't hesitate to ask if anything is unclear!
