I am stuck on functions

[wavic]

Well, first you have to create a variable which will hold the incrementing sum as you loop over the list. So:

1 2 3 4

sum = 0 For each number in the list:     add the number to the sum Then return the average

This is a pretty basic usage of a loop so I doubt that you will face some obstacles. 
Another thing. You are calling the scorecalculator() function inside the while loop. Also, you have to assign the returned result to a variable because the function just returns something but this object is never used.

1	var = func()

i think i need to go back and spend the rest of the day doing the practice exercises in the book. I am just not getting it. I may not be cut out for this. I'm learning bash scripting right now, too...with Perl, so everything is running together!
