    	short average = 0;
    	short num = 0;
    	short sum = 0;
    	char reply = ' ';
    
    	while (reply == 'Y' || reply == 'y')
    	{
    		cout<<"Enter Number";
    		cin>>num;
    		sum= sum + num;
    		count++;
    
    		cout<<"Continue";
    		cin>>reply;
    	}

    That's not the right solution. When a loop is always supposed to run at least once, you are supposed to use a do..while loop. That would also have meant that this problem would never have occurred.
