Collections.namedtuple()- HackerRank Solution

 Collections.namedtuple()- HackerRank Solution

 Basically, namedtuples are easy to create, lightweight object types.

They turn tuples into convenient containers for simple tasks.
With namedtuples, you don’t have to use integer indices for accessing members of a tuple.

Example

Code 01

>>> from collections import namedtuple
>>> Point = namedtuple('Point','x,y')
>>> pt1 = Point(1,2)
>>> pt2 = Point(3,4)
>>> dot_product = ( pt1.x * pt2.x ) +( pt1.y * pt2.y )
>>> print dot_product
11

Code 02

>>> from collections import namedtuple
>>> Car = namedtuple('Car','Price Mileage Colour Class')
>>> xyz = Car(Price = 100000, Mileage = 30, Colour = 'Cyan', Class = 'Y')
>>> print xyz
Car(Price=100000, Mileage=30, Colour='Cyan', Class='Y')
>>> print xyz.Class
Y

Task

Dr. John Wesley has a spreadsheet containing a list of student's , ,  and .

Your task is to help Dr. Wesley calculate the average marks of the students.

Note:

1. Columns can be in any order. IDs, marks, class and name can be written in any order in the spreadsheet

2. Column names are ID, MARKS, CLASS and NAME. (The spelling and case type of these names won't change.)

Input Format

The first line contains an integer , the total number of students.
The second line contains the names of the columns in any order.
The next  lines contains the , ,  and , under their respective column names.

Constraints

Output Format

Print the average marks of the list corrected to 2 decimal places.

Collections.namedtuple HackerRank Solution

from collections import namedtuple

n, Column = int(input()) , namedtuple('Column',input().split())

col = [Column(*input().split()).MARKS for i in range(n)]

print("%.2f"% (sum(map(int,col))/n))

Explantion-

Collections.namedtuple() - Here we have imported namedtuple in order to get the data in some sort of containers without using the interger. Column namedtuple will store the names of columns like MARKS, CLASS, and so on. 

In the third line of the code, we are getting the input from the user and at the same time splitting the MARKS and storing it in col list. In the last line, we are just finding the avg and printing the output up to two decimal places.
