In the Python tutorial book I'm using, I typed an example given for simultaneous assignment. I get the aforementioned ValueError when I run the program, and can't figure out why.
Here's the code:
#avg2.py
#A simple program to average two exam scores
#Illustrates use of multiple input
def main():
print("This program computes the average of two exam scores.")
score1, score2 = input("Enter two scores separated by a comma: ")
average = (int(score1) + int(score2)) / 2.0
print("The average of the scores is:", average)
main()
Here's the output.
>>> import avg2
This program computes the average of two exam scores.
Enter two scores separated by a comma: 69, 87
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#4>", line 1, in <module>
import avg2
File "C:\Python34\avg2.py", line 13, in <module>
main()
File "C:\Python34\avg2.py", line 8, in main
score1, score2 = input("Enter two scores separated by a comma: ")
ValueError: too many values to unpack (expected 2)
