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

简短而简单:

def ave(x,y):
  return (x + y) / 2.0

map(ave, a[:-1], a[1:])

这是它的样子:

>>> a = range(10)
>>> map(ave, a[:-1], a[1:])
[0.5, 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, 4.5, 5.5, 6.5, 7.5, 8.5]

由于Python在处理两个列表上的映射时有些愚蠢，你必须截断列表a[:-1]。如果你使用itertools.imap，它会像你期望的那样工作:

>>> import itertools
>>> itertools.imap(ave, a, a[1:])
<itertools.imap object at 0x1005c3990>
>>> list(_)
[0.5, 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, 4.5, 5.5, 6.5, 7.5, 8.5]

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))

这个问题在这里得到了解答

a = [1,2,3,4]
sum(a) 

sum(a)返回10

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

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)
