I am stuck on functions

[Hebruiser]

In your function, as Wavic said, if you are using the sum builtin you don't need the for loop. So total = sum(scores) would do it.
Also you want to divide total by the length of scores, not score.

Yes, I wish I could just do that, but he wants us to be practicing loops and learn about functions. It's easy enough for me to think about analogous concepts that are similar to functions and loops, but there's a disconnect, with me, on making them work together.

ps. I really, really appreciate the attention and the help...all of you.
