# Initialise the list.
lst = [0.2, 10, 5.6, 7, 8.9, 12, 5]

# Take the initial variables

# Take the sum to 0 initially
sum = 0
largest = lst[0]  # Let the first number be the largest and we will update it
smallest = lst[0]  # Let the first number be the smallest and we will update it

# FOR loop for average
for num in lst:
    # Add each number
    sum += num

avg = sum / len(lst)
print('The average is', avg)

# FOR loop for Largest number
for num in lst:
    # Check if this number is larger
    if num > largest:
        largest = num

    # print the largest number
print("The largest value is", largest)

# FOR loop for Smallest number
for num in lst:
    # Check if this number is smaller
    if num < smallest:
        smallest = num

    # print the smallest number
print("The smallest value is", smallest)
