Scores are separated by blanks. Your program should prompt # the user to enter a filename. filename = input("Enter a filename: ").strip() file = open(filename, 'r') count = 0 avg = 0 sum = 0 for line in file: scores = line.split() scores = [eval(s) for s in scores] count += len(scores) for s in scores: sum += s avg = sum / count print("There are", count, "scores") print("The total is", sum) print("The average is", avg)
