 Loops can be hard when you are new to coding and so it might take you a bit longer to really get your head round them.

 We could do this the way we did in the example above, copying and pasting our code 3 times, (or we could even make a loop within a loop) but this is untidy and as budding Pythonistas we can do better. Instead we can make a function which will calculate the mean of whatever we put in.

 Now that we have defined this function we can use it in the same way that we use the `print` function. We feed in an input and the function will do its job and return u the mean. To calculate the mean precipitation in Edinburgh we would use:
 
 ```python
-mean_precipitation_edinburgh = my_mean(daily_precipitation_edinburgh)
+my_mean(daily_precipitation_edinburgh)
 ```
 
 and we would get the answer 3.75
