How to store results from while loop and sentinel in python?

Question

been working on this for hours, thought i had it down but it turns out i have it all wrong.

The assignment is to

Write a program that computes your sem

Answer 1

I used some things that might come in handy in the future, if you continue to program in python (like generators, list comprehension, map)
You can try something like this: (Can be simplified, but for clarity.. )

#!/bin/env python3

"""
Course grade computation
"""

# quiz.py

import sys


def take(name="", dtype='int', sentinel=-1):
    """:param dtype: string representing given input type"""
    counter = 0
    i = 0
    while True:
        i = eval(dtype)(input("{} #{}: ".format(name,counter)))  # We should use function map instead, but for simplicity...
        if i > 10 or i < -1:
            print("Invalid input: input must be in range(0,10) or -1", file=sys.stderr)
            continue
        if i == sentinel:  # <-- -1 will not be added to list
            break
        yield i
        counter += 1


def main():
    grades_map = dict([(100, 'A'), (90, 'B'), (80, 'C'), (70, 'D'), (60, 'F')])

    print("Input quiz scores")
    quizes = [i for i in take("Quiz", dtype='float')]
    quiz_sum = sum(quizes)
    quiz_lowest = min(quizes)

    print("Input project scores")
    projects = [i for i in take("Project", dtype='float')]
    proj_sum = sum(projects)

    print("Input exam scores")
    exam1, exam2, final = map(float, [input("Exam #1:"), input("Exam #2:"), input("Final:")])

    total = ...  # Didn't know what the total really is here
    average = ...  # And same here

    grade = grades_map[round(average, -1)]

    # Handle your prints as you wish


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

EDIT: Change in the generator so that -1 is not added to the list
