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))

本着itertools的精神。灵感来自双人食谱。

from itertools import tee, izip

def average(iterable):
    "s -> (s0,s1)/2.0, (s1,s2)/2.0, ..."
    a, b = tee(iterable)
    next(b, None)
    return ((x+y)/2.0 for x, y in izip(a, b))

例子:

>>>list(average([1,2,3,4,5]))
[1.5, 2.5, 3.5, 4.5]
>>>list(average([1,20,31,45,56,0,0]))
[10.5, 25.5, 38.0, 50.5, 28.0, 0.0]
>>>list(average(average([1,2,3,4,5])))
[2.0, 3.0, 4.0]

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)

保持简单:

def cool_sum(list: numbers):
    b = 0;
    for i in numbers:
        b += i
    return b;


a = [1, 2, 4]
print(cool_sum(a))

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

解决这个问题最简单的方法是:

l =[1,2,3,4,5]
sum=0
for element in l:
    sum+=element
print sum
