Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use Average(IEnumerable<Int32>) to calculate an average.

      ' Create a list of integers.
      Dim grades As New List(Of Integer)(New Integer() {78, 92, 100, 37, 81})

      ' Determine the average value in the list.
      Dim avg As Double = grades.Average()

      ' Display the output.
      outputBlock.Text &= "The average grade is " & avg & vbCrLf

      ' This code produces the following output:
      '
      ' The average grade is 77.6

      List<int> grades = new List<int> { 78, 92, 100, 37, 81 };

      double average = grades.Average();

      outputBlock.Text += String.Format("The average grade is {0}.", average) + "\n";

      // This code produces the following output:
      //
      // The average grade is 77.6.
