Darned Harmonic Mean!

Yes, I know I'm a nitwit. Let's get that out of the way.

I'm trying to code a program that calculates the arithmetic, geometric, and harmonic means of numbers.

Thing is, I can't figure the harmonic mean out. I've got the arithmetic and geometric parts worked out, but the harmonic is giving me trouble.

Any ideas? Any at all? :(

For this to work all numbers of n[] have to be positive:

Code:

---

int n[3] = {2, 3, 4};
int d = 2;

float mean = d/((1/n[0])+(1/n[1])+(1/n[2]));

...Jigga what? I'm sorry, but I'm just a beginning programmer. This not only uses code that I haven't learned yet, but it codes the numbers into the program. I probably should have specified that the program needs to accept an unspecified number of integers from the user.
