What is problems in this

Question

#python 3.7.1

n1,n2,n3=Input('enter three numbers separated by comma') split(",")
sum=n1+n2+n3
lists=[n1,n2,n3]
count=.count(lists)
ans=sum/count
print("average=sum/count")

Answer 1

I would say take separate inputs as integers cannot be entered with comma
errors:
1. Input is not defined - int(input())
2. count = len(lists)
3. print(ans)

Answer 2

Try this way...

n1,n2,n3=Input('enter three numbers separated by comma') split(",")
n1,n2,n3 = float(n1), float(n2), float(n3)
sum= n1 + n2 + n3
lists=[n1,n2,n3]
ans=sum/3
print("average = " + str(ans))

Answer 3

3) ah, yes. as Sharique Khan points out, the input comes in as a string, and is never converted to a number. “3” in programming has every method in common with “Not a number” and has little in common with 3. you have to convert it using int() or float()

Answer 4

1) the dot operator in line 5 has nothing before it. the correct usage of the count method would be: count=lists.count(“thing”) #how many times the string “thing” occurs in lists, in your case zero.

I have a feeling you were actually trying to find out how big lists was, in which case you should do: count=len(lists) #results in 3

2) the variable ans is never used. you just print the message “ans=sum/count” at the end. what you should do is: print(ans)

or you can skip the assignment of ans and just do: print(sum/count)

Answer 5

on a separate note, much of this code seems redundant. the program knows from the beginning that there are three values, so why does it put them in a list just to count them again?
