7.1.9 Diving Contest CodeHS Answers

The most common answer is:

# fill in this function to return the total of the three judges' scores!
judges_scores=(10,10,10)

def calculate_score(judges_scores):
return judges_scores[0]+judges_scores[1]+judges_scores[2]

print (calculate_score(judges_scores))

This function for calculating the total score from three judges in a diving contest is correct. It properly adds up the scores from the three elements of the judges_scores tuple.

However, the function lacks proper indentation, which is essential in Python. Let’s correct the indentation:

def calculate_score(judge_scores):
    num1, num2, num3 = judge_scores
    return (judge_scores[2] + judge_scores[0] + judge_scores[1])

print(calculate_score((5, 8, 10)))
