Hey I am new to python so go easy, but I wanted to know how to make a program 
that calculates the maen.

List = [15, 6, 6, 7, 8, 9, 40]
def mean():
     global themean, thesum
     for i in List:
         thecount = List.count(i)
         thesum = sum(List)
     themean = thesum / thecount

Why doesn't this work?



Hello, William..

How about you try to execute one bit of your program, and if that works, try to add to it.

Try

list = [15, 6]
list.count(1)

And see if what it gives you back is what you expected. If not, why ?
