Several example codes

Program Overview

This Python program reads three numbers from the user.
It sends them to a method that calculates their average.
The result is returned to the main program and displayed.
This exercise helps practice method definition, parameter passing, and basic arithmetic.

Python Code:

def calculate_average(a, b, c):
    return (a + b + c) / 3

# Run the program
num1 = float(input("Enter the first number: "))
num2 = float(input("Enter the second number: "))
num3 = float(input("Enter the third number: "))

average = calculate_average(num1, num2, num3)
print(f"The average is: {average:.2f}")

Sample Output (input: 4, 7, 10):

The average is: 7.00

Step-by-Step Explanation:

- The program reads three numbers from the user
- It sends them to a method called calculate_average
- The method adds the numbers and divides the sum by 3
- The result is returned and printed with two decimal places
