Step $5$: The next loop to code is the Second Counter code. This loop can be processed in the same way as Step $4$; however, it would take a long time to write $1$ through $60$ in the for loop definition. Therefore, the range function should be used to simplify the process. Write a for loop that has a range from $1$ to $61.$ If you stop at $60,$ only $59$ seconds will be printed. If you only provide one argument, the starting value will be $0.($Reference the Critical Review section above for the exact syntax.$)$

Step $6$: The next loop to code is the Accumulator code. Start by initializing a total variable to $0.$ This must be done in order to accumulate values.

Step $7$: The next step is to write a for loop that iterates $5$ times. The easiest way to do this is the following.

for counter in range$(5)$:

Step $8$: Inside the for loop, allow the user to enter a number. Then, add an accumulation statement that adds the number to total. In Python, the range function determines the number of iterations, so it is not necessary to manually increment counter.

Step $9$: Outside of the for loop, use a print statement that will display the total.

Step $10$: Compare your sample input and output to the following:

Enter a number: $54$

Enter a number: $32$

Enter a number: $231$

Enter a number: $23$

Enter a number: $87$

The total is $427$

Step $11$: The final loop to code is the Average Age code. Start by initializing totalAge and averageAge to $0.($Reference the Critical Review section above on Letting the User Control the Number of Iterations$).$

Step $12$: The next step is to ask how many ages they want to enter. Store the answer in the number variable.

Step $13$: Write the definition for the for loop using the range function such as:

for counter in range$(0,$ number$)$:

Step $14$: Inside the for loop, allow the user to enter an age.

Step $15$: Inside the for loop, add the code that will accumulate age into the totalAge variable.

Step $16$: Outside of the loop, calculate the average age as averageAge $=$ totalAge $/$ number.

Step $17$: Outside of the loop, display the averageAge variable to the screen.
