Question

hi can i please get the answer of this question?

Write a python program that calculates the average of numeric values in a string and ignores all other characters. Your program must print the sum and average on the screen. (Save your script as spotNumbers.py and spotNumbers.txt)

For example: If the input is: myString= "Biology = 66.0 Python = 90.0 Economics = 80.0 Statistics = 70.0"

The output wound be: Sum= 306.0 Average= 76.5

Hint: Consider using type build-in function in your code. Also, see documentation or exception handling in Python as it may prove to be handy in your code.

Answer 1

myString = input()
total, count = 0, 0
for word in myString.split():
    word = word.strip()
    try:
        number = float(word)
        total += number
        count += 1
    except ValueError:
        pass

if count == 0:
    average = 0
else:
    average = total/count
print("Sum= " + str(total) + " Average= " + str(average))
