Question

I have an assignment in C# due and I am unsure of where to even begin.

Assignment: Write a C# console app that will input a text file of numbers. For these numbers, find the number of numbers (one per line), the largest of these numbers, the smallest of these number, and the average of these numbers. I'm attaching two files, a short file with the numbers 1 thru 9 for testing and another larger file for the actual processing outlined above.

What to turn in:
1. The .cs file, with comments, program description, name, etc.
2. Another file you can create yourself containing the number of numbers, largest, smallest, average of the numbers, etc. Comment on what the average of these numbers is (I don't know, but I have an idea).

Answer 1

// C# code

//Please change the file path according to your input file path

//This program works for any numbers in file no matter how many....

using System;
using System.IO;

class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
//Open file to read
StreamReader read = new StreamReader(@"C:\Users\naren\source\repos\input file get average\input file get average\input.txt");
// variables
int sum = 0, counter =0,max =0,min=0;
double avg = 0;
//While data is being read
while(!read.EndOfStream)
{
//Parse line to int to store in int variable
int num = int.Parse(read.ReadLine());
//update counter
counter++;
//If counter run first time
// initialize min and max
if(counter==1)
{
min = num;
max = num;
}
//find min and max
else
{
if (min > num)
min = num;
if (max < num)
max = num;
}
//Find summation of numbers
sum += num;
  
}
//Find average
avg = sum / counter;
//Print
Console.WriteLine("The max = {0}\nThe Min = {1}\nThe Average = {2:N}\n", max, min, avg);
//pause
Console.ReadLine();
}
}

//input.txt

//Output

//If you need any help regarding this solution ........ please leave a comment..... thanks
