one question:
I want to write a code in this exercise to get the averages of each student whit the “get_average()” function and put them in a list like this:
class_list = [lloyd, alice, tyler]
results = [80.55, 90.15, 79.9]

I wrote the below code, but I get this answer “None, None, None”

for student in class_list:
results = [ ]
result = get_average(student)
print results.append(result)

what’s the problem?

#4

.append() does not return anything so the statement prints None.
