    You need to put a rowTotal, inside your loop, like the one you're printing with.

    rowTotal = marks[i][0] + marks[i][1] + marks[i][2] ==> up to 4.
    Then you need to add a line of code to divide rowTotal, by 5 (because 0 through 4 is 5)

    rowAvg = rowTotal/5;

    would do.

    Then you need to print out or save that rowAvg, before the next rowAvg is calculated. Don't forget to re-set rowTotal and rowAvg variables to zero, before the next row, or you'll get wrong answers.

    Then you are doomed

    It may well be the case that you just implemented the idea wrongly. Post your current code. (Please indent your code. You should also change that use of gets() to say, fgets().)

    I can't tell without seeing your code. maybe you forgot to set the variables to zero before the addition?

    Post your code.
