生成器是一种简单的编写方法:

from __future__ import division
# ^- so that 3/2 is 1.5 not 1

def averages( lst ):
    it = iter(lst) # Get a iterator over the list
    first = next(it)
    for item in it:
        yield (first+item)/2
        first = item

print list(averages(range(1,11)))
# [1.5, 2.5, 3.5, 4.5, 5.5, 6.5, 7.5, 8.5, 9.5]

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))

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

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]

试试以下方法:

mylist = [1, 2, 3, 4]   

def add(mylist):
    total = 0
    for i in mylist:
        total += i
    return total

result = add(mylist)
print("sum = ", result)

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:]))
