title: Simple Clean Math Operations
body: <p>I'm trying to make some basic methods for handling python math operations, I made a method for getting the sum of all numbers in the args like these:</p>
  <pre class="lang-py prettyprint-override"><code>def get_sum_of_numbers(*args):
      temp_value = 0
      for num in args:
          temp_value += num
      return temp_value
  </code></pre>
  <p>The problem is that when I try to create a simple average method:</p>
  <pre class="lang-py prettyprint-override"><code>def get_average_of_numbers(*args):
      return get_sum_of_numbers(args) / len(args)
  </code></pre>
  <p>I can't reuse this method because I can't just pass to the sum method the args of the average method as an argument, I want to make both the average method and the sum method take as many numbers as the programmer wishes to input. Anyone have any ideas?</p>
