[FIXED] How can I let my code return the average of the numbers?

Issue

So I wrote a code that would return the distance from parse_dist(s) and the total time parse_time(s). However, I defined another function jogging_average(activities) that would return the distance and time for every string in activities: list.

Now I want to let jogging_average(activities: list) return (x+x)/(y+y) (basically the average). How can I modify my code to find the average like that??

Solution

def jogging_average(activities: list[str]):
    cum_dist = cum_time = 0
    for activity in activities:
        if activity.startswith("jogging"):
            cum_dist += float(parse_dist(activity))
            cum_time += parse_time(activity)
    return cum_time/cum_dist
