使用简单的列表-理解和求和:

>> sum(i for i in range(x))/2. #if x = 10 the result will be 22.5

对一串数字求和:

sum(list_of_nums)

使用列表推导式生成一个新列表，其中相邻元素在xs中求平均值:

[(x + y) / 2 for x, y in zip(xs, xs[1:])]

将所有相邻元素求和为一个值:

sum((x + y) / 2 for x, y in zip(xs, xs[1:]))

遍历列表中的元素并像这样更新总数:

def sum(a):
    total = 0
    index = 0
    while index < len(a):
        total = total + a[index]
        index = index + 1
    return total

我使用一个while循环来得到结果:

i = 0
while i < len(a)-1:
   result = (a[i]+a[i+1])/2
   print result
   i +=1

问题2: 对一组整数求和:

a = [2, 3, 5, 8]
sum(a)
# 18
# or you can do:
sum(i for i in a)
# 18

如果列表中包含整数作为字符串:

a = ['5', '6']
# import Decimal: from decimal import Decimal
sum(Decimal(i) for i in a)

你也可以使用递归来做同样的事情:

Python代码片段:

def sumOfArray(arr, startIndex):
    size = len(arr)
    if size == startIndex:  # To Check empty list
        return 0
    elif startIndex == (size - 1): # To Check Last Value
        return arr[startIndex]
    else:
        return arr[startIndex] + sumOfArray(arr, startIndex + 1)


print(sumOfArray([1,2,3,4,5], 0))
