Syntax error Program to find average salary excluding the minimum and maximum salary in Python

Program to find average salary excluding the minimum and maximum salary in Python

Suppoe we have an array with distinct elements called salary where salary[i] is the salary of ith employee. We have to find the average salary of employees excluding the minimum and maximum salary.

So, if the input is like salary = [8000,6000,2000,8500,2500,4000], then the output will be 5125.0, as the minimum and maximum salary values are 2000 and 8500, so excluding them the average salary values are [8000,6000,2500,4000] so the average is (8000 + 6000 + 2500 + 4000)/4 = 5125.

To solve this, we will follow these steps −

  • delete minimum of salary from salary

  • delete maximum of salary from salary

  • return sum of the salary values / number of elements in salary after removal

Example (Python)

Let us see the following implementation to get better understanding −

 Live Demo

def solve(salary):
   salary.remove(min(salary))
   salary.remove(max(salary))
   return sum(salary)/len(salary)

salary = [8000,6000,2000,8500,2500,4000]
print(solve(salary))

Input

[8000,6000,2000,8500,2500,4000]

Output

5125.0
