average=0
for item in subject:
  item=int(input('Enter score:'))
  total.append(item)
average=float(total/5)
print(item)
print(sum(total))
print(average)

Output:

average=float(total/5) TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for /: 'list' and 'int'

Answer 1

subject=['Eng','Bio','Mth','Chem','phy']
total=[]
average=0
for item in subject:
  item=int(input('Enter score:'))
  total.append(item)
sum=0
for i in total:
    sum=sum+i
number=len(subject)   
average=float(sum/number)
print("average:%d"%average)

Thank you for  your help.

Answer 2

Try making the parentheses so that it only wraps around total. I think the reason for the error is that python can’t convert the slash to float.

ubject=['Eng','Bio','Mth','Chem','phy']
total=[]
average=0
for item in subject:
  item=int(input('Enter score:'))
  total.append(item)

average=(sum(total))/(len(total))

print(average)
