Help combining code

[calphord]

I have written some code that will find the average then the middle number and then the most used number of a user entered list of numbers. I have the code as separate programs and they all work fine separately. But I am trying to put them together as one. I have the average working fine but I can not get the middle and most to print. Also after the numbers have been entered I want it to save the list that is entered in to a file then recall it when prompted. I am completely lost. I am just learning this and I don’t want the answer given to me I would like someone to look at my code and explain how I could do what I want. This is some of my code


if item == 'yes':
##f = open("amm.dat", "r")
print 'The Mean average is:', sum/count
print 'The Mode is:', () #this is here to give me a answer space
print 'The Median is:', m #same here
if item == 'no':
print 'Thank you Good bye'
# calculates mode
def mode(num):
if not num:
return None
num = {}
for item in num:
count = num.get(item, 0)
num[item] = count + 1
result = [ (count, item) for item, count in num.items() ]
result.sort()
result.reverse()
maxcount = result[0][0]
modes = [ item for count, item in result if count == maxcount ]

# calculates median
def median(s):
i = len(s)
if i%2:
return (s[i/2]+s[(i/2)+1])/2.0
return s[i/2]
i = [i for i in (number) if i > median(number/2)]

 = count + 1
     result = [ (count, item) for item, count in num.items() ]
     result.sort()
     result.reverse()
     maxcount = result[0][0]
     modes = [ item for count, item in result if count == maxcount ]
 
# calculates median   
def median(s):
    i = len(s)
    if i%2:
        return (s[i/2]+s[(i/2)+1])/2.0
    return s[i/2] 
    i = [i for i in (number) if i > median(number/2)]

Please use code tags.

I see one problem here:

def mode(num):
     if not num:
         return None
     num = {}
     for item in num:

num is the argument. You are assigning num to an empty dictionary, then iterating on the empty dictionary. To print the individual results, use the string formatting operator:

....print 'The Mean average is: %.2f', thesum/count # float, 2 decimal places
    print 'The Mode is: %2f', mode(num)
    print 'The Median is: %2f', median(s)

You must return a calculation result in functions mode() and median() with the return statement. Do not use sum for a variable name because it will mask the built-in Python function sum().

To print the results and output to a file:

f = open('output.txt', 'w')
output = 'The Mean average is: %.2f\nThe Mode is: %2f\nThe Median is: %2f' % \
         (sum/count, mode(num), median(s))
print output
f.write(output)
f.close()

>>> num = 8
>>> print num
8
>>> print 'The Mode is:', num
The Mode is: 8
>>> print 'The Median is: %s'
The Median is: %s

Also after the numbers have been entered I want it to save the list that is entered in to a file then recall it when prompted.

>>> myFile = file("MyTest.txt", "w")
>>> myFile.write("some Text.")
>>> myFile.write("some more Text.")
>>> myFile.close()
>>> myFile = file("MyTest.txt", "r")
>>> myFile.read()
'some Text.some more Text.'
 
>>> aList = [1,2,3,4,5] # for saving and loading as a string
>>> aList
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
>>> aStr = str(aList)
>>> aStr
'[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]'
>>> eval(aStr)
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

If you want to be able to combine and reuse code you should use functions and classes. Make sure you document any assumptions.

# your function works fine and can be used in any code as long as your assumptions are met
def median(s):
    """
    median: works fine as long as  s is tuple or list of numbers sorted numbers
    """
    i = len(s)
    if i%2:
        return (s[i/2]+s[(i/2)+1])/2.0
    return s[i/2]

thanks for the help i think i got it
