Question

Need the code in python.

At certain Olympic events, there are 5 judges. To determine an athlete’s final score for the event, the highest and lowest judges’ scores are discarded and then the average of the rest of the scores is calculated. Assume that the array 'Scores' contains the judges’ scores. Write a function that accepts as an argument a list of scores and returns the athlete’s final score.

(Hint: Add up all the scores in the array. Find the highest and lowest scores and subtract them out. Divide sum by len(Scores) – 2 and return as the average.)

Answer 1

The required program is given below. In case of any query please ask me in comments.

main.py

def average(scores):
total = 0
for i in scores:
total += i
highest = max(scores)
lowest = min(scores)
total = total - highest - lowest
avg = total/(len(scores) - 2)
return avg

def main():
Scores = [85,65,45,90,72]
print("Average Score :",average(Scores))
  
main()
