Example – average value

The first example utilizes the generic List class for storing floating point values (of the double type) entered by the user. After typing a number, the average value is calculated and presented in the console. The program stops the operation when an incorrect value is entered by the user.

The code from the Main method in the Program class is as follows:

List<double> numbers = new List<double>(); 
do 
{ 
    Console.Write("Enter the number: "); 
    string numberString = Console.ReadLine(); 
    if (!double.TryParse(numberString, NumberStyles.Float,  
        new NumberFormatInfo(), out double number)) 
    { 
        break; 
    } 
 
    numbers.Add(number); 
    Console.WriteLine($"The average value: {numbers.Average()}"); 
} 
while (true);
