heres my HW link Click Here

[Fernando_1]

my code had me stuck at the point where im suppose store and average

[woooee]

What does that mean and what do you want the program to do?

[lancevo3]

can you further explain the problem?

[Fernando_1]

Check the link , my problem happens when I have the user enter class and assigments and not knowing how to store it all in appropiate variables. I tried to follow the pseudo code that he has on the assignment but Im stuck

First of all you do not need the first 20 lines, it is clearer to use the messages directly in were they are used, global variables/constants are bad idea (with few exceptions to rule). You can find this True when you see what you are doing at line 60 (vs line 17) Actually you have extra indent at line 28 for the main program that stops whole program running. Remove indent or add line

if __name__ == '__main__':

before main code. This is good habit.

This is backwards

pointsPossible+= totalPossibePoints

as totalPossiblePoints will always stay at zero and pointsPossible will be over-written on the next input through the loop. If you want to average then you also have to keep track of how many were entered so you can divide total by number entered. Also there is no course1, course2, etc. entered. As the courses are entered append them to a list and keep them that way. That is what lists are for Click Here
