How to calculate average?

[bul268]

Can anyone tell me how to calculate average in a C++ program for e.g average of numbers?

I have used the following code:
Average=0
Average+=Marks_Eng+Marks_Hin+Marks_Math+Marks_Sci%4;

This does not give me correct output.

% (modulo) finds the remainder.

Use division instead.

EDIT: Deleted later reply as jdd beat me to it.

done that...does not work...

Also keep in mind the order of operations. Division (or modulo) happens before addition. You need to group the items being averaged.

Average = ( num₁ + num₂ + ... num_n ) / n
