Introduction

Python is one of the most popular programming languages and it is a # 1 language for data analysis, which could be a part of MIS or a

task by itself.

Traditionally programming is divided into core functions (or computing) and interfaces.

Core functions can be seen as a box (programming module) that accepts certain input, compute something, and provide the output.

The interface modules would be responsible for collecting input and presenting the output.

Standard functions can be used to calculate the sum or the length (number of elements) of a list:

70 Possible Points

As we learned, data can be stored in variables, or collections like lists (or arrays). The idea behind the list is that a single name will be

used along with the index to store multiple values.

Let a be a Python list, then we can declare a list with values as:

a = [2, 4, 3, 10, 33]

example, the code bellow will iterate through the list and print each element of the list

for element in a:

print (element)

As you can see print() will output the values of .

A part of the code can be written to be executed under certain condition. Then an if statement should be used. For example, the code

below calculates an absolute value of a variable:

if x < 0:

X = -X

(If x is less than zero assign -x to x (or invert x's sign).

Directions

Using the core concepts of Python language, and the hints given above, create a Python program to calculate an average of a given

array of number and output all numbers that are higher than the average by more than 20%.

Use Python comments (# at the beginning of a line) to explain the purpose of each part of the code. Upload your code as a text file to

the assignment dropbox.
