Is there a specialist in error handling ?

[sylas]

my question here:Please help me to finish with this file. I am a beginner and I am unable to use "try" and "except"

# file2.py
size = 40
print("here is the addition of many numbers (even with a .) Maximum of numbers=", size)
print("Once you have finished your list of numbers, just press $ to indicate the end\n")
total = 0.0
value = 0.0
count = 1
while (count != 0):
   value = float(input("enter the value: "))
   if value == '$':
       average = total / count
       print("average value= ", average)
       exit()
   else:
       print(value)
       print(total)
       total = value + total
       print(total)
       count = count + 1

When you paste from your IDE use CTRL+SHIFT+V instead of CTRL+V to paste the code as plain text without formatting.

What have you tried? This shouldn't require a specialist, its (probably) basic error handling and you need to elaborate further on the requirements.

Here a hint:

>>> total = 10
>>> count = 5
>>> average = total / count
>>> average
2.0

>>> count = 0
>>> average = total / count
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "<string>", line 301, in runcode
 File "<interactive input>", line 1, in <module>
ZeroDivisionError: division by zero

>>> # Now using try:except to catch that error
>>> try:
...     average = total / count
... except ZeroDivisionError:    
...     print('Cannot divide by zero,try again')
...     
Cannot divide by zero,try again

He said he can't use try and except. In that case, you need to do defensive programming:

if count:
    average = total / count
    print('The average is', average)
else:
    print('Cannot divide by zero, try again.')

"Unable" could mean disallowed or failing after trying.

my question here:Hi all. I should be very glad if you help me using error handling

# file2.py
size = 40
print("here is the addition of many numbers (even with a .) Maximum of numbers=", size)
print("Once you have finished your list of numbers, just press $ to indicate the end\n")
total = 0.0
value = 0.0
count = 1
while (count != 0):
   value = float(input("enter the value: "))
   if value == '$':
       average = total / count
       print("average value= ", average)
       exit()
   else:
       print(value)
       print(total)
       total = value + total
       print(total)
       count = count + 1

You seem to have posted the same question after getting two answers. If neither of those errors is helpful, you need to clarify your question.

What have you tried?

You didn't ask a question, and you didn't follow instructions. You need to elaborate much more on your requirements. You were given a very good hint, if that doesn't totally clarify things then say why.
