Class work:

Write a python program, Tally1_YI.py to find the sum of the numbers from x to y where x and y are two numbers the user inputs. Your program should prompt the user for x and y. Make sure your program checks x is smaller than y.

Write a python program, Tally2_YI.py to find the sum and the average of the following list: [45,23,76,18,90,123,56,76,89,22,41,56]
The output should look like this:
The sum of all the items in this list [45,23,76,18,90,123,56,76,89,22,41,56] is xxx and the average is xxx.xx.
