Question

[Python] what are the program solutions to the promts?

Write a program to determine which word is the shortest of the following: apple, banana, peach, plum, grapefruit.

Write a program to determine the average number given in a list. The first line of your program should give a name to a list to be averaged: e.g numbers = [3,17,1,44,239]

Answer 1

words=["apple","banana","peach","plum","grapefruit"]
length=len(words[0])
indx=0
for i in range(len(words)):
if len(words[i])<length:
length=len(words[i])
indx=i
  
print("Shortest word is:",words[indx])

numbers = [3,17,1,44,239]
sum=0
for i in range(len(numbers)):
sum=sum+numbers[i];

length=len(numbers)
avg=sum/length

print("Average of list is: ",avg)
