Computing average - vestkok - Aug-12-2018
Hi guys, I have an exercise question from a book. I can't figure out where and how do I place error message if the first input from the user is 0.
P.S - To quit the loop, user must enter 0 according to the exercise question so cant use string to break it.
Thank you for any reply in helping out.
total = 0
counter = 0
while True:
values = int(input("Enter the integer : "))
if values == 0:
break
total += values
counter += 1
average = total / counter
print('The average of the numbers entered is %d' %average)

if counter > 0:
average = total / counter
print('The average of the numbers entered is %d' %average)
else:
print('enter value > 0')

Hi Alex. Thank you so much for the guidance. Have revised the code as below to cover
total = 0
counter = 0
while True:
try:
values = int(input("Enter the integer : "))
if values != 0:
total += values
counter += 1
elif counter > 0:
average = total / counter
print('The average of the numbers entered is %.2f' %average)
elif counter == 0:
print('Invalid input as 0 is used to break loop')
if values == 0:
break
except:
print("Error. Kindly enter integer input only")
break
