I'm trying to aggregate total rainfall in inches to display the total but when I run the code I get a TypeError saying that "'float' object is not iterable". Any idea what I've done wrong?
months = 12
def main():
rain = get_rain()
total = get_total(rain)
avg = total / len(rain)
low = min(rain)
high = max(rain)
print('The total rainfall in inches for the year is: ', format(total, ',.2f'))
print()
print('The average monthly rainfall this year was: ', format(avg, ',.2f'))
print()
print('The lowest rainfall in inches this year was: ', format(low, ',.2f'))
print()
print('The highest rainfall in inches this year was: ', format(high, ',.2f'))
print()
def get_rain():
rain_in = []
print('Enter the amount of rainfall in inches for each month of the year.')
print('------------------------------------------------------')
for index in range(months):
print('Enter the total rainfall in inches for month #', index + 1, ': ', sep='', end='')
rain_inches = float(input())
rain_in.append(rain_inches)
return rain_inches
def get_total(rain_in_list):
total = 0.0
for num in rain_in_list:
total += num
return total
main()
Traceback:

Even a bit of a push in the right direction would help. I feel like I'm right on the edge of figuring this out.
