Python: Compute average of two given lists

Python List: Exercise - 105 with Solution

Write a Python program to compute average of two given lists.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

def average_two_lists(nums1, nums2):
    result = sum(nums1 + nums2) / len(nums1 + nums2) 
    return result

nums1 = [1, 1, 3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 7]
nums2 = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 7, 8]
print("Original list:")
print(nums1)
print(nums2)

print("\nAverage of two lists:")
print(average_two_lists(nums1, nums2))

Sample Output:

Original list:
[1, 1, 3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 7]
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 7, 8]

Average of two lists:
3.823529411764706
