ForEach or For

I was wondering how can i cut this code down to maybe a function that could give me the average without setting the sum to be assigned to all those varibles is there a way i can loop through the values that are inputted to the console

using System;

class Addem

{

static void Main()

{

int sum = 0;

Console.WriteLine("Enter 5 grades");

int num1 = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());

int num2 = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());

int num3 = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());

int num4 = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());

int num5 = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());

sum = num1 + num2 + num3 + num4 + num5;

Console.WriteLine("The answer is {0}", sum.ToString());

Console.WriteLine("The average is {0}",sum/5.0);

Console.WriteLine("Press Enter to continue");

Console.ReadLine();

}

Hi Dpowers,

You are correct. The value is cast to a double so that the average returned is accurate and includes the decimal places.

Thanks for the great sample but Question....Why do you have double in the writeLine method Is that so you can return the average with double value

static void Main()
{
   const int itemCount = 5;
   int sum = 0;

   Console.WriteLine("Enter {0} grades", itemCount);

   for (int item = 0; item < itemCount; item++)
      sum += int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());

   Console.WriteLine("The answer is {0}", sum);
   Console.WriteLine("The average is {0}", sum / (double) itemCount);
   Console.WriteLine("Press Enter to continue");
   Console.ReadLine();
}
