Thread: Finding the mean

Hi
im new to programming, and have been trying to create a small program that can find the mean of a set of numbers from an array, the problem i face is that when i run the program instead of the correct answer appearing, a random set of numbers appears usually something like -827427429 etc, does anyone know what i have done wrong, if it helps im using visual express c++ 2010

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#define Size 11


int main(void)
{
int y;
int i;
int average = 0;
int sum = 0;
int mean[Size]={13, 36, 16, 21, 24, 16, 21, 10, 18, 16};


for (i=0; i<Size; i++);
    {sum += mean[i];
    average=sum/10;
    printf("%d\n",average);}


scanf("%d",&y);


return 0;
}

Move the closing brace for your loop from line 17 to the end of line 15.
