Why it is showing error?[solved]

Question

data = [7, 5, 6.9, 1, 8, 42, 33, 128, 1024, 2, 8, 11, 0.4, 1024, 66, 809, 11, 8.9, 1.1, 3.42, 9, 100, 444, 78]
data.sort()
sum=0

for i in range(1,(len(data)-1)):
sum+=data[i]
print(sum)

Answer 1

#Try this

data = [7, 5, 6.9, 1, 8, 42, 33, 128, 1024, 2, 8, 11, 0.4, 1024, 66, 809, 11, 8.9, 1.1, 3.42, 9, 100, 444, 78]
data.remove(max(data))
data.remove(min(data))
print(sum(list(data)))

Answer 2

It's working just fine for me.

Answer 3

I do not know the task text, and cannot understand why you sort the array and why the range is smaller. But you can try this:

data = [7, 5, 6.9, 1, 8, 42, 33, 128, 1024, 2, 8, 11, 0.4, 1024, 66, 809, 11, 8.9, 1.1, 3.42, 9, 100, 444, 78]
sum=0

for i in range((len(data)):
sum+=data[i]
print(sum)

Answer 4

No it's a code coach

Answer 5

Atul [Inactive] Here are two ways to do this:

#1
data.remove(min(data))
data.remove(max(data))
print(sum(data))

Or just

#2
print(sum(sorted(data)[1:-1]))

# I hope that this helps. Happy coding!

Answer 6

Delicate Cat In first one remove that braces inside data list,in print statement

And 2nd code is wrong

Answer 7

Your first code worked Delicate Cat

Answer 8

Atul [Inactive] then your code presented in the question should work. The idea with sort and smaller range in for loop is very good.

Answer 9

Atul [Inactive] What's the question?

Answer 10

You’re analyzing a data set and need to remove the outliers (the smallest and largest values.
The data is stored in a list).

Complete the code to remove the smallest and largest elements from the list and output the sum of the remaining numbers.

Remember the functions a list supports: min and max can be used to get the smallest and largest numbers.

Answer 11

It doesn't pass the test cases. You can run it 😅

Answer 12

Delicate Cat Didn't worked

Answer 13

Yes you are correct Delicate Cat . Might be the edge cases

Answer 14

Atul [Inactive] Would you mind posting the expected output? I guess that the test case is hidden. Should the code take any inputs?

Answer 15

Atul [Inactive] maybe you missed sthg in the question. Delicate Cat has done 3 ways and they have to have worked ..

Answer 16

Delicate Cat I observed that their is no error in logic but presicion

Answer 17

Atul [Inactive] Does Simba 's code work? If it does, mine should work too; is that list() typecast really necessary?

Answer 18

Atul [Inactive] There was a small typo in my code. Now, it works.

Answer 19

Pakhi Sahu It's Python, not Javascript.

Answer 20

JaScript Simba Provided the code and the problem was of precision. And to be very honest sololearn didn't mentioned that in question
