Question

Write a program that will input a list of test scores in from the keyboard. When the user enters -1, print the average.

Answer 1

print("Enter the Scores:")

total = []

while True:

   num = int(input())

   if num == -1:

       break

   total.append(num)

print("The average is:",(sum(total)/len(total)))
