error when iterating a list of floats in python3

Question

I am a Python3 newbie.. I am trying to figure out why this does not work.

my code:

#!/usr/bin/env python3


days = ['mon', 'tue', 'wed', 'thur', 'fri', 'sat', 'sun']

hours = []
count = 0

while count < 6:
    print('Please tell me how many hours you slept on:')
    for day in days:
        print(day)
        value = float(input())
        hours.append(value)
        v = sum(value)
        count = count + 1

avg =  ((v) / 7)

print("you slept an average of", round(avg), 'hours')

When I run this I get the following error: "TypeError 'float' object is not iterable" the traceback references line 18 'v = sum(value)'

thank you

You need to change

v = sum(value)

to

v = sum(hours)    #sum the list of sleep hrs
