Programming Language Help

[Flim_Flam]

I'm in a programming logic and design class. I had to work late last Tuesday and missed class and wasn't able to get ahold of anyone for class notes. I have an assigmnet due that states : "Use a For/Next Loop to calculate the average of 5 numbers" The chapeter we covered is on Arrays, so I'm assuming I'll need to use an array of some sort. All of our programs we write are just in Basic/Pseudocode. If anyone could help me out I'd appreciate it. I've been staring at the book for 2 hours and have not gotten anywhere.

My BASIC is a bit rusty, so here's some pseudo-code. It shouldn't take much to convert it to BASIC:

First, fill a 5 entry array with your values. Now, here's the pseudo-code to calculate the average:

Total = 0




FOR Count = 1 to 5


  Total = Total + Array[Count]


  Average = Total / Count


NEXT Count




PRINT Average

How's that? Alternatively, if you only want to calculate the average once, you could simply move the "Average = Total / Count" statement outside the FOR loop and simply use the statement "Average = Total / 5"

Total = 0




FOR Count = 1 to 5


  Total = Total + Array[Count]


NEXT Count




Average = Total / 5


PRINT Average

Dim $Number

$Total = 0

$Number[1]=10

$Number[2]=20

$Number[3]=30

$Number[4]=40

$Number[5]=50

For $X= 1 to 5 Step 1

$Total = $Total + $Number[X]

$Average = $Total / $X

Next

PRINT $Average

Dim $Number

$Total = 0

$Number[1]=10

$Number[2]=20

$Number[3]=30

$Number[4]=40

$Number[5]=50

For $X= 1 to 5 Step 1

$Total = $Total + $Number[X]

$Average = $Total / $X

Next

PRINT $Average

Oh yeah? Same to you.
