Having trouble with some Python homework

September 19, 2022

Question: Write a python program using a "While" loop that will ask for the user to input exam scores. You should start by asking the user how many scores they would like to enter. Then use a loop to request each score and add it to a total. Finally, calculate and display the average for entered scores.
The current code I have got is listed below though whenever I try to run it to see if it works, is comes up with Syntax Error: Invalid Syntax on the else.
I tried without else inside and outside the while loop and it came up with SyntaxErorr: Invalid Syntax. Perhaps you forgot a comma?

examNum = examCount
examCount = int(input("How many scores would you like to enter?"))

totalExam = (examCount + 1)
totalScore = sum(examScore)

while examNum  < examCount:
    examScore = int(input("Input your exam score."))
    else:
        print("Your average score is" totalScore)

Note: This is my first time doing Python in 5 – 10 years so I am back to square one with figuring everything else. I’m sure there is a obvious and easy work around but I’d appreciate any help.

>Solution :

Try this one:

examCount = int(input("How many scores would you like to enter?"))

exams = examCount
totalScore = 0

while examCount > 0:
    examScore = int(input("Input your exam score."))
    examCount -= 1
    totalScore += examScore

print(totalScore/exams)
