unable to use while proparly [Answered]

.

using System;

namespace school_work_28
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
int num, sum = 0, count = 0;
double avrage = 0;
Console.WriteLine("enter num to end enter -1");
num = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
while (num != -1)
{
count++;
sum = sum + num;
}
Console.WriteLine("enter num");
num = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
avrage = count % sum;
Console.WriteLine("the avrage is=" + avrage);

;
}
}
}

what?

yeah ur while loop will run forever if the user input any number other than -1

yeah but once i enter one number it wont let me type anything else

well ofcourse, since ur program is stuck in the while loop

so how do i fix it

uh what do u need the while loop for

{
count++;
sum = sum + num;
}

this is inside the while loop

so how can the whole program be stuck

i got a school asigment and it goes something like this

because you never break out of the while loop

ur while loop will run as long as num isnt -1

"write a program that takes in numbers once number -1 is taken in the program shuts down the prgoram needs to caculate the avrage out of all the numbers and display it on screen"

and since you never modified num in the while loop, it will run forever

yeah but i can only enter 1 number

so how should i modify it ?

try to ask for user input in the while loop

yeah well it works now besides one small problem

the avrage is not proparly caculated

average's formula is usually like this right? sum / count

you just fixed everything in less then 10 minutes 👍
