creating the doc test for average.py is not working. I have the doctest as:
""" Returns the average for a list of numbers
>>> average([1, 2])
1.5
"""
but it returns an error saying Check Preview for details. The exact same code is working in Workspaces
def average(num_list):
""" Return the average for a list of numbers
>>> average([1, 2])
1.5
"""
return sum(num_list) / len(num_list)
