Test grade average python / n.append(float(score)) AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'append'

Receiving this error :

n.append(float(score))
AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'append'.

After running code below:

def averageTestScore(n):
    total = 0
    for x in range(n):
        total += x #sum of numOf tests taken
        avg = total / len(str(n))
        for counter in range(0, n):
            score = float(input("What was your score on test # "))
            # n.append(float(score))
            # score += counter
        return avg

numberOfTests = int(input("How many tests did you take? "))
average = averageTestScore(numberOfTests)
print("The average of those test scores is:", average)

In your code given above , you were trying to append an integer to another integer (Note n is the number of tests you had used as a function parameter, that's why you got an Error).

I think what you want is to get average of tests.

So, I think this may help you

def averageTestScore(n):
    tt=0
    for i in range(n):
        sc=float(input("What was your score on test : "))
        tt+=sc
    return tt/n
numberOfTests = int(input('How many tests did you take ? '))
average = averageTestScore(numberOfTests)
print("The average of those test scores is :", average)

Change your code to -

def averageTestScore(n):
    score = 0
    for num in range(1,n+1):
       score += float(input(f"What was your score on test {num} "))

    avg = score/n
    return avg

numberOfTests = int(input("How many tests did you take? "))
average = averageTestScore(numberOfTests)
print("The average of those test scores is:", average)

Then it should work without error.

You got error, because you cannot append to a integer, only to a list you can append. So, try this different approach. I used f-strings so that the test number is also shown.
