Get the split list Average in python

Question

My Code

data = input("Enter your numbers: ").split(", ")

print("list: ", data)

q =  sum(data)

print("Sum: ", q)

Input

7,45,78,3

Output

 ['7,45,78,3']

Traceback

the error is in line 3 (q = sum(data)) and it says :

TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'int' and 'str'

I can not go farther to get Average . what should I do now ?

Your values are strings; you need to convert them to integers (or floats) to add them. — Nick, Jan 27 '21 at 07:59
Besides the number conversion there is an additional problem. Please check the difference between `'7,45,78,3'.split(', ')` and `'7,45,78,3'.split(',')`. — Matthias, Jan 27 '21 at 08:05

to get avg, you need to convert each input to int value. currentl all no are in string format

data = input("Enter your numbers: ").split(", ")
data= [int(i) for i in data]
print("list: ", data)

q =  sum(data)

print("Sum: ", q)

A quicker way to get the input: ```data = list(map(int, input("Enter nums: ").split(", ")))``` Then you don't need the second line. – ArjunSahlot Jan 27 '21 at 08:13

@SaladHead yes, but i think it will be more clearer to OP if i write this way – sahasrara62 Jan 27 '21 at 08:22
