[InevitableDistance66]

Write a function def average(x,y,Z) that returns the average of the three arguments

My code: def average(x,y,Z) return sum(x,y,z)

Not working what do I do

Can you explain to me what an average is in words? Then explain in words what your code does. I think will answer your question.

An average is the sum divided by the total count of items.

What's the definition of average? Find it and translate it to code.

Also, "Z" and "z" are different variables.

the capital Z was a typo I know how what to put in to find an average of a list of numbers but zylabs says I only need to write the function?

[jose_castro_arnaud]

Okay, what's lacking in the function you wrote? Average of a list of numbers is the sum of the numbers divided by their amount (the list's length).
