The problem

Given an integer array nums of positive integers, return the average value of all even integers that are divisible by 3. Note that the average of n elements is the sum of the n elements divided by n and rounded down to the nearest integer.

Example

Input
nums = [1,3,6,10,12,15]
Output
9
Explanation
6 and 12 are even numbers that are divisible by 3. (6 + 12) / 2 = 9.

Python solution

class Solution:
    def averageValue(self, nums: List[int]) -> int:
        s = n = 0
        for x in nums:
            if x % 6 == 0:
                s += x
                n += 1
        return 0 if n == 0 else s // n
