read n numbers and find their total, min, max, average

Hi :)

I was trying to write a code to read n numbers and find total, min, max, average for those n numbers. There is clearly something wrong with the code which I have failed to understand. Please help me. I'm new to these loops.

Best regards
Jackson

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>

using namespace std;

int main()

{
    int i, n;
    float number, total=0, min=500, max=0, average;

    cout << "How many numbers are there?: ";
    cin >> n;

    for (i=0; i<n; i+=1)

        {

        cout << "Enter the number: ";
        cin >> n;

        total = total + n;

        if (n < min)
        {
            min = n;
        }

        if (n > max)
        {
            max = n;
        }

        }

    cout << "Total is: " << total << endl;
    cout << "Minimum is: " << min << endl;
    cout << "Maximum is: " << max << endl;
    cout << "Average is: " << total/n << endl;

    system("pause");

}

Output:

Code:

---

How many numbers are there?: 9
Enter the number: 1
Total is: 1
Minimum is: 1
Maximum is: 1
Average is: 1
Press any key to continue . . .

You're using the same variable 'n' for two different things. You'll want to use a separate variable for the value the user inputs.

Thanks a lot, iMalc. I see the problem now.
