all of those but absolutely you could
1,001.519
3.76
skew things though hopefully if you're
1,003.44
3.36
implementing a gambling game or the like
1,005.279
3.12
you're not actually making some cards
1,006.8
3.92
more probable than others
1,008.399
4.481
allow me to turn back now to our
1,010.72
4.16
implementation here of this randomness
1,012.88
3.92
and consider how we might leverage other
1,014.88
3.44
types of functionality that aren't
1,016.8
3.76
necessarily in this specific library
1,018.32
4.4
here well it turns out that python also
1,020.56
4.239
comes with a statistics library and this
1,022.72
3.68
contains all sorts of functions for
1,024.799
3.921
doing things more statistical in nature
1,026.4
4.96
namely calculating means or medians or
1,028.72
4.479
modes or other
1,031.36
3.599
aspects of a data set that you might
1,033.199
4.24
want to analyze so how might we use the
1,034.959
4.321
statistics module on python well we
1,037.439
2.961
might first just take a look at its
1,039.28
3.36
documentation like any other module in
1,040.4
4.08
python and we'll see within that library
1,042.64
3.52
that there's a whole bunch of functions
1,044.48
3.359
and one of those functions is one that's
1,046.16
3.68
quite simple it's average a function
1,047.839
4.08
that allows you to calculate the average
1,049.84
4.16
of some numbers that you've passed in
1,051.919
3.76
let me go ahead and envious code in my
1,054
3.84
terminal window open up a new file
1,055.679
4.721
called average.pi and at the top of this
1,057.84
4.32
file i'm going to import a different
1,060.4
4.24
library this time namely the statistics
1,062.16
4.8
module in python and now i'm going to go
1,064.64
4.08
ahead and call a function that i know
1,066.96
4.88
comes in that module namely mean for the
1,068.72
4.64
average of some values and i'm going to
1,071.84
3.68
call statistics.mean
1,073.36
4.96
and i'm going to pass into this function
1,075.52
4.72
mean a list of some values and let's
1,078.32
3.28
suppose that i'm quickly trying to
1,080.24
3.6
calculate what my current grade average
1,081.6
4.24
is in school and i did really well on my
1,083.84
3.839
first test and i got a hundred percent
1,085.84
3.68
and on my second i did well but not as
1,087.679
4.161
well and i got a 90. and ironically i'm
1,089.52
3.84
not very good with math so i'd like to
1,091.84
3.28
figure out what my average now is
1,093.36
3.439
between those two tests so let me go
1,095.12
3.6
ahead now and in this list type in the
1,096.799
5.201
number 100 comma 90 thereby passing in a
1,098.72
6.88
list of two values two ants 190 and ins
1,102
5.2
outside of those are the parentheses
1,105.6
3.04
because of course this is now the
1,107.2
3.04
argument i'm passing to the function
1,108.64
4.24
called mean and this function mean is in
1,110.24
5.439
the module called statistics well it's
1,112.88
4.48
not that interesting to just calculate
1,115.679
3.36
the mean if i don't actually see what it
1,117.36
3.52
is so let me additionally pass the
1,119.039
4.241
return value of that mean function to
1,120.88
4.72
the print function as usual let me now
1,123.28
4.48
in my terminal window in vs code type in
1,125.6
4.56
python of average.pi and hit enter and
1,127.76
4.96
voila as you might expect my average is
1,130.16
3.759
95
1,132.72
2.56
so the difference here is that i'm just
1,133.919
2.961
using a different module that still
1,135.28
3.519
comes with python but i need to import
1,136.88
4.32
it instead of for instance the random
1,138.799
4.321
module instead and this time i know from
1,141.2
3.44
the documentation that there exists a
1,143.12
4.16
function called mean well it turns out
1,144.64
4.72
there's even more functionality that
1,147.28
4.08
comes with python and that comes with
1,149.36
2.8
other
1,151.36
2.48
modules in python and there's this
1,152.16
3.6
feature generally known as command line
1,153.84
3.68
arguments this is a feature not just of
1,155.76
4
python but of languages more generally
1,157.52
4.88
that allow you to provide input not when
1,159.76
5.44
prompted inside of a program as happens
1,162.4
5.279
whenever we call the python function
1,165.2
4.96
input but rather there's this feature
1,167.679
4.321
command line arguments of programs that
1,170.16
4
allows you to provide arguments that is
1,172
4.08
input to the program
1,174.16
3.519
just when you're executing it at the
1,176.08
3.28
command line so up until now for
1,177.679
3.36
instance recall that we've generally run
1,179.36
3.84
python of something dot pi for instance
1,181.039
4.961
python of hello dot pi and i've never
1,183.2
5.2
once really executed any words or
1,186
5.52
phrases after the name of the file but i
1,188.4
5.68
could in fact when you're running
1,191.52
4.8
programs in a command like environment
1,194.08
4.4
like we are you can provide any number
1,196.32
5.52
of words or numbers or phrases after the
1,198.48
4.88
command that you're typing and all of
1,201.84
3.6
those will somehow be passed in as
1,203.36
4.64
inputs to the program itself you don't
1,205.44
