Example 4 - Finding The Average of Numbers in A List

This program calculates the average of test scores in a list. It adds up all the scores in the list to get a total. Then it divides the total by the number of scores to get the average. When the button is clicked, it loops through the scores array, adds each value to the running total, then divides the total by the size of the array to get the average of 9.

Example 4 - Finding the

average of numbers in a list


This program has a list that contains test scores. The program will go
through the list and add together all the numbers to get a total. It then
works out the average of the test scores.
Interface

Code when btnFind is clicked

'an array called scores, that contains 5 test scores

Dim scores As Array = {10, 12, 7, 6, 10}

'the size of the array if found by using .Length, it will return 5

Dim size As Integer = scores.Length

Dim total As Integer = 0

'a loop that will repeat between 0 and the value of size - 1 (so it doesn't loop one
too many times)

For x = 0 To size - 1

'it will use x from the loop to add the correct element from the list to the
total

total = total + scores(x)

Next

'the loop has now finished, the average is calculated by dividing the total by the
size
Dim average As Decimal = total / size

MessageBox.Show("The average of the numbers is: " & average.ToString)

This is what happens when the button is clicked:

This program gives the average of 9 based on the values in the scores
array. This is because 10 + 12 + 7 + 6 + 10 = 45. This is then divided
by the size of the list (5) to give 9.
