Integers Average

[poloblue]

Hi,
I trying to let the user input how many numbers that they want to average and outputting the average of those numbers. I have this code, but not working as aspected.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main ()
{
int numCount, total;
double average;
cout << "How many numbers do you want to average? ";
for (int count = 0; count < numCount; count++)
{
total = 0;
int num;
cout << "Enter a number: ";
cin >> num;
count++;
}
average = total / numCount;
cout << "The average is " <<average<<endl;
return 0;
}

1. You never used NumCount. Thus you loop went infinitely.
2. You never incremented total every time they entered a number.
3. None of your variables were initialized so the values could be anything.

4. If using codeblocks, right click anywhere in the source editor and press format A-Style. Then you can post it here. It's hard to read code that isn't indented.

   int main(int argc, char* argv[])
   {
       int numCount = 0, total = 0;
       double average;
       cout << "How many numbers do you want to average? ";
       cin>> numCount;
       for (int count = 0; count < numCount; count++)
       {
           int num;
           cout << "Enter a number: ";
           cin >> num;
           total += num;
       }
       average = total / numCount;
       cout << "The average is " <<average<<endl;
   
       cin.get();
       return 0;
   }
   

Edit: WTH? Something is wrong with Daniweb's code parser :S So you have to parse the code twice. At least for me that's how the indentation stayed. I think it's a glitch.
