title: Deleting numbers from lists.PYTHON
body: <p>I am creating a python program, to allow a user to input numbers and find the total, average, highest and  lowest of the numbers inputted. my teacher has told me to improve the program by removing the first and last number inputted into the list.I am confused on how doing so,as the list does not exist until the user has inputted the numbers into it.</p>
  
  <p>THIS IS MY CODE SO FAR:</p>
  
  <pre><code>totalList=[]
  totalList = totalList[1:-1]
  TotalNum = int(input("Please enter how many numbers are to be entered:"))
  Change=TotalNum
  Input=0
  Total=0
  while TotalNum&gt;0:
      TotalNum = TotalNum - 1
      Input = int(input("Enter Number: "))
      totalList.insert(-1,Input)
      Total = Total +Input
  print("Total:" ,Total)
  print("Average:",Total/Change)
  print("Highest:",max(totalList))
  print("Lowest:",min(totalList))
  </code></pre>
