Why do I get this traceback with the infinite loop below but not with the
definitw loop (bottom of mail)?
I don;t see anyt loops at the bottom.
But as for this one...
count = 0
total = 0
while True:
x = raw_input('Enter a number')
raw_input reads a character string. You need to converrt it to a number:
x = int(raw_input('Enter a number') )
count = count + 1
total = total + x
Without the conversion you are trying to add a string
to a number which is illegal in Python.
print count, total, (total/count)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Python27\enter_a_number.py", line 6, in <module>
total = total + x
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'int' and 'str'
Which is what the error is telling you.
