Thread: Average of user inputs (in a loop)

My problem is I'm not sure how to get the program to identify each user input uniquely (in a loop). I suppose it would have been a lot easier if the users input, in this particular program,was fixed and not looped.

I have to get the average of the scores entered in each loop. As you will notice, a negative integer is used to exit the loop. The negative integer is not included in the loop counting or the average.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
	int user_input = 1;
        int loop_count = -1;/*starts with -1 because the exit input (final input) is ignored*/
        float user_input_average;
	
	printf("The program calculates the average of scores you enter.\n");
	printf("End with a negative integer.\n");
	
	do
	{
		printf("Enter score (3-10):");
		user_input++;
		loop_count++;
		scanf("%d", &user_input);
	}
	while(user_input > -1);
	
	printf("You entered %d scores.\n", loop_count);
	printf("Average score: %.2f\n", user_input_average);
	
	return 0;
}
