Can anyone help me? Thanks! （Solved! 100% right!!）

grades = [100, 100, 90, 40, 80, 100, 85, 70, 90, 65, 90, 85, 50.5]

def print_grades(grades):
for grade in grades:
print grade

def grades_sum(grades):
total = 0
for grade in grades:
total += grade
return total

def gradesaverage(grades):
sumofgrades = gradessum(grades)
average = sumofgrades / len(grades)
return average

def grades_variance(grades,average):
variance = 0
for g in grades:
variance += ((average - g) ** 2)
return variance / len(grades)

print gradesvariance(grades, gradesaverage(grades))

I do not know why my code did not work and i tried other people's solution, but it kept saying "ooops, try again".
Hope someone can give me a right solution.
Thanks

Hi,

Maybe it is your indentation?

Here is the whole code:

grades = [100, 100, 90, 40, 80, 100, 85, 70, 90, 65, 90, 85, 50.5]

def print_grades(grades):
    for grade in grades:
        print grade

def grades_sum(grades):
    total = 0
    for grade in grades: 
        total += grade
    return total

def grades_average(grades):
    sum_of_grades = grades_sum(grades)
    average = sum_of_grades / float(len(grades))
    return average

def grades_variance(scores):
    average=grades_average(scores)
    variance=0
    for score in scores:
        variance += ((average-score)**2)
        final_variance=variance/float(len(scores))
    return final_variance
print grades_variance(grades)

can i ask why you decided to use two arguments in your definition for grades_variance?

here is my solution that worked, hopefully it will help you

def grades_variance(scores):
    average=grades_average(scores)
    variance=0
    for score in scores:
        variance += ((average-score)**2)
        final_variance=variance/float(len(scores))
    return final_variance
print grades_variance(grades)
