Calculation of Average of Numbers

A program to calculate the average of a set of N numbers is given in Fig.2.11.
AVERAGE OF n VALUES
Program

#define N 10 /* SYMBOLIC CONSTANT */

main(
!
in" #$%n" & /* 'ECLARATION OF */
f($a" )%m* a+e,a-e* n%m.e, & /* VARIABLES */

)%m / 0 & /* INITIALI0ATION */
#$%n" / 0 & /* OF VARIABLES */

12i(e( #$%n" 3 N
!
)#anf(45f4* 6n%m.e, &
)%m / )%m 7 n%m.e, &
#$%n" / #$%n" 7 1 &
8

9,in"f(4N / 5d S%m / 5f4* N* )%m&
9,in"f(4 A+e,a-e / 5f4* a+e,a-e&
8


Output

Fig. 2.11 Average of N numbers
The variable number is declared as float and therefore it can take both integer and real
numbers. Since the symbolic constant N is assigned the value of 10 using the #define
statement the program accepts ten values and calculates their sum using the while loop. The
variable count counts the number of values and as soon as it becomes 11 the while loop is
e!ited and then the average is calculated.
Notice that the actual value of sum is "#.# but the value displayed is "#.$%%%%%. &n fact the
actual value that is displayed is 'uite dependent on the computer system. Such an inaccuracy is
due to the (ay the floating point numbers are internally represented inside the computer.
2. Temperature Conversion Problem
The program presented in Fig.2.12 converts the given temperature in fahrenheit to celsius using
the follo(ing conversion formula)

Fig. 2.12 Temperature conversion
The program prints a conversion table for reading temperature in celsius given the fahrenheit
values. The minimum and ma!imum values and step si.e are defined as symbolic constants.
These values can be changed by redefining the #define statements. An user*defined data type
name RA! is used to declare the variables fahrenheit and celsius.
The formation specifications /0.1f and /$.2 in the second printf statement produces t(o*
column output as sho(n.
