>>> a = range(10)

Traceback (most recent call last):

sum似乎已经在代码的某个地方定义了，并且覆盖了默认函数。所以我删除了它，问题解决了。

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]

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

n = int(input("Enter the length of array: "))
list1 = []
for i in range(n):
    list1.append(int(input("Enter numbers: ")))
print("User inputs are", list1)

list2 = []
for j in range(0, n-1):
    list2.append((list1[j]+list1[j+1])/2)
print("result = ", list2)

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

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)
