Question

(1) Prompt the user to enter five numbers, being five people's weights. Store the numbers in an array of doubles. Output the array's numbers on one line, each number followed by one space. (2 pts) Ex: Enter weight 1: 236.0 Enter weight 2: 89.5 Enter weight 3: 142.0 Enter weight 4: 166.3 Enter weight 5: 93.0 You entered: 236.0 89.5 142.0 166.3 93.0 (2) Also output the total weight, by summing the array's elements. (1 pt) (3) Also output the average of the array's elements. (1 pt) (4) Also output the max array element. (2 pts) Ex: Enter weight 1: 236.0 Enter weight 2: 89.5 Enter weight 3: 142.0 Enter weight 4: 166.3 Enter weight 5: 93.0 You entered: 236.0 89.5 142.0 166.3 93.0 Total weight: 726.8 Average weight: 145.35999999999999 Max weight: 236.0

Answer 1

Answer:

weights = []

total = 0

max = 0

for i in range(5):

   weight = float(input("Enter weight " + str(i+1) + ": "))

   weights.append(weight)

   total += weights[i]

   if weights[i] > max:

       max = weights[i]

average = total / 5

print("Your entered: " + str(weights))

print("Total weight: " + str(total))

print("Average weight: " + str(average))

print("Max weight: " + str(max))

Explanation:

Initialize the variables

Create a for loop that iterates 5 times

Get the values from the user

Put them inside the array

Calculate the total by adding each value to the total

Calculate the max value by comparing each value

When the loop is done, find the average - divide the total by 5

Print the results
