Task 1 - Creating and Calling Functions#

1.1 - Average of a list#

Write a Python function that returns the average of a list of values, and then test it with a variety of inputs.

Restriction: I want you to write the average function yourself (from scratch), you cannot use np.mean(), mean(), or any other average function.

Hint: Remember the mean of a function is just the sum of all the values, divided by the number of values in the list.

Requirements:

  • Create function with name avglist that accepts three parameters:

    • lst - list of numbers (required parameter)

    • low - miminum value (not inclusive). (optional parameter, default = 0)

    • high - maximum value (not inclusive). (optional parameter default = 100)

  • Your function will calculate and return the average of all values in the range (low, high).

  • Your function should have an appropriate docstring.

  • Call help(avglist) to display function information.

  • Create a list with the numbers 1 to 10 and call avglist() with default range and print the result.

  • Create a list with the numbers 1 to 100 and call avglist() with range (20, 80) and print result.

  • Create a list with 100 random numbers between 1 and 100 and call avglist() with range (30, 100) and print the result. Note: Will need to import random and use random.randint(1,100).

Reminder: To set the seed, use random.seed(100).
