[dapper adder]

elements=int(input("How many students: "));

the task is to make it so you can input students names and their mark and then for the code to print the students who got above the average mark and who got below. I have gotten the part where it prints what marks scored above the average however I am struggling to figure out how I can get it to print the name of student who got that mark.

Any help would be appreciated and sorry I do not know how to write a message on discord with the box around it.

students = [];
marks = [];

for x in range(elements):

name = input("Name of the student:  ");

grade = int(input("Marks for that student: "));

students.append(name);

marks.append(grade);

average_mark = (sum(marks)/len(marks))
print(f"\nAverage Mark: {average_mark}\n")

print("students above average mark: ")
for x in marks:
if x > average_mark:
print(x);

the ith grade in marks corresponds to the ith student in students

```py
code in here
```

some possible solutions:

• loop through the index instead of the values
• zip
• bundle the student's name and grade together when you were inputting

[dapper adder]

would it be possible to have both the grade and name in the same list or would that not work because one is an int and other is a string?

sorry I am just confused

[brave lodge]

yes it would work
python's containers can store items of different types

but obv if you have this list

['Alice', 95, 'Bob', 80, 'Cathy', 93]
```then it's a bit more complicated to loop

<strike>... there's also zip...</strike> sorry, Purplys already mentioned it.

[dapper adder]

what is zip?

[brave lodge]

!e quicker if I showed you

a = ['Alice', 'Bob', 'Cathy']
b = [90, 85, 93]

for x, y in zip(a, b):
    print('Name:', x, 'Score:', y)

:white_check_mark: Your 3.12 eval job has completed with return code 0.

001 | Name: Alice Score: 90
002 | Name: Bob Score: 85
003 | Name: Cathy Score: 93

It also bears mentioning that you needn't include semicolons as a statement termination character.

sorry I am trying to learn C# outside of school but python is something doing in class

Its turned into a bad habit

[spiral lake]

To each language its own conventions.

[pliant cipher]

If the example above is unclear, try: print(list(zip(a,b))) or whatever your 2 lists are named (students etc)

[dapper adder]

ok let me give it a try

[brave lodge]

you can also do it without all the fancy stuff
i.e. iterate thru the index

[dapper adder]

Thankyou

I guess I should go learn what zip actually is
