How to pass a group of elements to a Function in Python Program

How to pass a list of elements to a Function in Python Program

We can pass a group of elements like numbers or strings into a list and then we can pass this list to the function to process those elements.

Example 1 : Passing list of Integers to a Function

def funcalc(lst):

    """function to calculate sum and average of list of numbers"""

    n = len(lst)

    total = 0

    for i in lst:

        total = total + i

    avg = total / n

    return total, avg

# reading the user input

print('Enter the list of numbers separated by space:')

lst = [int (j) for j in input().split()]

# calling the function

x, y = funcalc(lst)

print('The total of numbers is: ', x)

print('The average of numbers is: ', y)

#Input:

Enter the list of numbers separated by space:

2 3 4 5

#Output:

The total of numbers is:  14

The average of numbers is:  3.5

Example 1 : Passing list of Strings to a Function

def dispstrings(lst):

    """function to display the list of strings"""

    print("The strings you entered are: ")

    for i in lst:

        print(i)

# reading the user input

print('Enter the list of strings seperated by comma:')

lst = [j for j in input().split(',')]

# calling the function

dispstrings(lst)

#Input:

Enter the list of strings seperated by comma:

Sun,Mon,Wed,Fri

#Output:

The strings you entered are: 

Sun

Mon

Wed

Fri
