can some one help me??
I would like to create a function that, given a bin, which is a list
(example below), generates averages for the numbers separated by a
string 'end'. I am expecting to have 4 averages from the above bin,
since there are 4 sets of numbers separated by 4 'end' strings

let you compare your code to mine.]
