Question

I have been set an assignment where I must find the average of a list of positive numbers enterd by the user, the amount of numbers entered is unknown. So far I have got the program to add all numbers that have been entered (the entry teminates when a user enters 0). I do not want the answer to this question on here because I am really trying to learn this fast!

I am having trouble with the while statement,

I wanted to say

WHILE ( numberentered = 0 );


……

but this doesnt seem to work

I originally did it like so:

while  ( numberentered >= 1 );

  System.out.print (numbersum);

but this still jumps out of the do loop when a negative number is entered.

Any idea guys…. If you understand my question but it is still worded very badly… please edit.

Thank you.

Answer 1

Shouldn’t you be doing this?

while(numberEntered != 0) {
    // add it up
}
