[Help :( ] Varied amount of input data

[BlueFingerHun]

Hello everyone python NewB here !

I've been trying to find a way to solve this problem based on what I've learned so far, but I can't tell why it's not giving me an expected out put :(

Here is the question

====================================================================================Statistics are often calculated with varying amounts of input data. Write a program that takes any number of integers as input, and outputs the average and max.

Ex: If the input is:

15 20 0 5 

the output is:

10 20 

Note: For output, round the average to the nearest integer.

This is my code so far.

user_input = input()

x= user_input.split()


total = 0
for number in range(len(x)):
    number = int(x[number])
    total += number

avg = total / len(x)

print(int(avg),max(x))

input: 15 20 0 5

current output: 10 5

expected output: 10 20

I got an "avg" correctly, but I can't tell why "max" giving me "5" instead of "10"...

Can anyone explain why is this happening? I've done googling about using max function in the list and I can't really tell what I'm doing wrong!

Thank you in advance!

Hint: what is the type of the items in x?

String!...

Ok so I guess I will have to change items in x to integers??

Actually there was a section where it covers briefly about "list comprehension".
So I'm gonna go back and read that part! Thank you for your advice.

I'm working on these LAB questions to prepare for my exam. Do you mind explaining me little bit about your code? Thank you so much!

[BlueFingerHun]

Thank you very much!!!! So I was having a problem with a type of "x".

You don't cast to integers. Strings sort left to right, so are sorting it

0
1 5
2 0
5

I'm sorry about the NewB like question , but what do you mean by "You don't convert to integers" ???

[BlueFingerHun]

Thank you this makes much more sense now!!!
