python - How to find the average of numbers being input, with 0 breaking the loop?

Question

I just need to figure out how to find the average of all these input numbers by the user while using 0 as a exit of the loop.

I need to figure out how to eliminate using 0 as part of the average. example: 5, 0, 5 ,5... the average is 5 by eliminating the 0.

nA = 1
nSum = 0
print ('enter numbers to find the average')
print ('enter 0 to quit.')
while nA !=0:
    nA = input ('gemmi a number:')
    nSum+=nA
   dAvg = nSum

print 'the total amount of numbers is' , nSum ,
print 'your average is' , dAvg , 

How do I do this?

Answer 1

It seems to me that you need to keep a counter which tells you how many numbers the user has input so you can divide by it to get the average (being careful not to count the final 0). As an aside, the user can never put in 5,0,5,5 here because at the first 0, the loop will break and the other 2 5's won't have an opportunity to be input.
