I know there are similar questions on here to mine but I don't see the answer there.
Where am I going wrong with this JS code to find the average number from the user's input? I want to keep entering numbers until -1 is entered. I think -1 is being counted as an input/
var count = 0;
var input;
var sum = 0;
while(input != -1){
input = parseInt(prompt("Enter a number"));
count++;
sum = sum + input;
sum = parseInt(sum);
average = parseFloat(sum/count);
}
alert("Average number is " + average);
This is the right order (without all the unnecessary parsing...)
var count = 0;
var input;
var sum = 0;
input = parseInt(prompt("Enter a number"));
while (input != -1) {
count++;
sum += input;
average = sum / count;
input = parseInt(prompt("Enter a number"));
}
alert("Average number is " + average);
Note that you can calculate the average once outside of the loop and save some CPU.
