Im trying to write a function to get an average out of a table in python but I get an error saying 'List index out of range'

Question

Im trying to make a function in python to find an average out of a table. In number_table there are 4 items so I put the count to 4. The error says : sum += table[i] IndexError: list index out of range.

Here is the code :

number_table = [1, 3, 5, 100]

def average(table, count):
    sum = 0
    for i in table:
        sum += table[i]

    return sum / count

print(average(number_table, 4))

Answer 1

Best pythonic and efficient ways:

def average(table):
    return sum(table)/len(table)

or

from statistics import mean


def average(table):
    return statistics.mean(table)
