Question

Write a python program where you create a list (you an create it in code you do not have to use input() statements) that represents the total rainfall for each of 12 months (assume that element 0 is January and element 11 is December). The program should calculate and display the: 1) total rainfall for the year; 2) the average monthly rainfall; 3) the months with the highest and lowest amounts.

You need to figure out how to access each element in the list, You need to add the all up to find the total; you need to also divide by the length of your list to get the average; then use the min() and the max() functions to find the highest and lowest amounts.

Print out appropriate statements showing the 4 required outputs.

Answer 1

Code:

rainfall=[12.1,13.6,9.2,25,16,15.8,21,20,18.9,15,8,11] #list
totrainfall=0
for x in range(0,len(rainfall)): #iterating through every element of list
   totrainfall=totrainfall+rainfall[0] #adding up elements of list
avgrainfall=totrainfall/12
#printing information
print("Total rainfall:",totrainfall,"mm")
print("Average rainfall:",avgrainfall,"mm")
print("Minimum rainfall:",min(rainfall),"mm")
print("maximum rainfall:",max(rainfall),"mm")

Output:
