How to calculate moving average in Python 3?

Question

Let\'s say I have a list:

y = [\'1\', \'2\', \'3\', \'4\',\'5\',\'6\',\'7\',\'8\',\'9\',\'10\']

I want to create a function that calculates

Answer 1

Use the sum and map functions.

print(sum(map(int, x[num-n:num])))

The map function in Python 3 is basically a lazy version of this:

[int(i) for i in x[num-n:num]]

I'm sure you can guess what the sum function does.
