the title may be misleading, but i didnt know how else to put it.
i was writing a really basic program when i encountered a small problem. my code calculates the average rating of a season.

Python

from __future__ import division


def avgseason():
    x = 0
    c = 1
    sum1 = 0
    a = int(raw_input('number of episodes: '))
    while (x < a):
        b = int(raw_input(("rating",c)))
        sum1 = sum1 + b
        c = c+1
        x = x+1
        average = sum1/a
    return average

my problem is that when the program asks for the rating of each episode, i prints ('rating', 3) whereas i want it to say 'rating 3'. how should i go about solving this, sorry if this is a really basic question.

Solution 1

Your code reads:

Python

b = int(raw_input(("rating",c)))

whereas, for your desired print statement, it should be:

Python

b = int(input('rating',c))

Just remove the extra pair of brackets, it would go good.

I actually tried that at the beginning, but i get an error that says 'TypeError: [raw_]input expected at most 1 arguments, got 2'...

Yeah, raw_input takes only one argument, so if you want to feed in two arguments, you have to use input(), rather than raw_input()

Solution 2

Your code looks promising, but I think there's a mistake (I mean not the mistake, might be typing mistake) in this line,

Python

b = int(raw_input(("rating",c)))

So make it,

Python

b = int(raw_input("rating," c))

And still it is not working then, give a try try with this,

Python

b = int(input("rating", c))
