what is the problem here currently???

[abstract forge]

def compute_totals_summary(filename):
    new_dict = {}
    
    with open (filename, 'r') as file:
        for line in file:
            line = line.strip()
            parts = line.split()
            
    
        total = 0
        minimum = 100
        average = 0
        
        for num in new_dict.values():
            total += num
        for num in new_dict.values():
            if num < minimum:
                minimum = num
                
        average = total / len(new_dict)
        
        new_average = float(average)
        
    return (f"{new_dict}, {total}, {minimum}, {new_average:.1f}")

The exercise asks that you return a tuple but you're returning a string.
A tuple is like a list but with parenthesis.

this is where i am at

ye but i need to give the average only one decimal

my problem now is that my other values are wrong my tuples

[urban kite]

put * before the function call

to unpack and let print format it

[abstract forge]

my values are wrong tho

why?

my max min and average is all wrong

i have 4 minutes to deliver

i need answer and then explanation please🙏

[pale tiger]

You put 'total' where your maximum value should be.
Your minimum calculation is iterating on the unadded dictionary, and therefore is returning the 3 from {Alice:3}
Your average is being divided by 4 instead of 3 because you're counting Alice twice.

how do i fix it

Your lack of planning isn't our emergency and we aren't going to spoonfeed you the solution.

[abstract forge]

no, i just needed answer than explanation

[warped tree]

That's... spoonfeeding

[pale tiger]

You need to convert the dictionary you built from the file into a dictionary that has the values added up.
