How to decrease input - Yankees1111 - Apr-14-2021
I'm very new to coding so my apologies if I'm saying any of this wrong. I am trying to write a code for this prompt:
A company has 3 divisions. After inputing the sales for each division across 4 quarters, I want to print the average sales for each division. Below is the code:
divisions = 3
while divisions > 0:
total = 0
quarters = 4
while quarters > 0:
sales = float(input("Enter sales: "))
total += sales
quarters -= 1
average = total / 4
divisions -= 1
print("The average for division", divisions + 1, "is $", format(average, '.2f'))Here is my problem. When I run the code, it prompts me to "Enter sales". And then after I do it four times, it tells me the average. How can I write this code so that it will ask me to enter the sales for Division 1 Quarter 1, Division 1 Quarter 2, Division 2 Quarter 2 etc. and then it will print "The average sales for Division 1 were...", "The average sales for Division 2 were..."THANK YOU

Please read BBCode to learn how to publish Python code, output, error messages.
The answer to your question:
sales = float(input(f"Enter sales for division {divisions} in quarter {quarters}: "))

This is how I would accomplish that goal:
overall_sales = [[0, 0]]
def average (sales_list: list) -> float :
return sum (sales_list) / len (sales_list)
def input_quartly_sales (divition_number: int) -> list :
quarterly_sales = []
for quarter_number in range (1, 5) :
prompt = f'Enter sales for division {division_number} for the'
prompt += f' quarter number {quarter_number} : '
quarterly_sales.append (float (input (prompt)))
return quarterly_sales
for division_number in range (1, 4) :
print (f'\nSales for division {division_number}.')
overall_sales.append (input_quartly_sales (division_number))
print ()
for division_number in range (1, 4) :
print (f'The average sales for division {division_number}', end = '')
print (f' is ${average (overall_sales [division_number]):,.2f}')
