Calculate Average in Java

Solution 1: Calculatiing average of 2 integers

Note: Since int/int operations removes decimals, we have to use double values on upper part or bottom part of divison (or both).

Wrong example: 3/2 (Gives us 1)

Correct exampes: 3.0/2 or 3/2.0 or 3.0/2.0

int num1 = 6;
int num2 = 7;
double average=(double)(num1+num2)/2;
//also could be (num1+num2)/2.0 or (double)(num1+num2)/2.0
System.out.println(average); //6.5

Solution 2: Calculatiing average of 2 integers (with user inputs)

import java.util.Scanner;

public class averageWithUserInputs {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		
		Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
		System.out.println("What is the first number?");
		int num1 = input.nextInt();
		
		System.out.println("What is the first number?");
		int num2 = input.nextInt();
		
		double average=(double)(num1+num2)/2;
		//also could be (num1+num2)/2.0 or (double)(num1+num2)/2.0
		System.out.println("Average of "+num1+" and "+num2+" is: "+average); //6.5
	}

}

Output:

What is the first number?
6
What is the first number?
7
Average of 6 and 7 is: 6.5

Solution 3: Calculating average of 2 integers with using average method

import java.util.Scanner;

public class maxmin {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		
		Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
		System.out.println("What is the first number?");
		int num1 = input.nextInt();
		
		System.out.println("What is the first number?");
		int num2 = input.nextInt();
		
		double average=calculateAverage(num1,num2);
		//also could be (num1+num2)/2.0 or (double)(num1+num2)/2.0
		System.out.println("Average of "+num1+" and "+num2+" is: "+average); //6.5
	}
	
	public static double calculateAverage(int a, int b)
	{
		double avg = (double)(a+b)/2;
		return avg;
	}

}

Solution 4: Calculating average of n integers with while loop

Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
int sum=0;
int count=0;
		
System.out.println("Please input a positive number");
System.out.println("type a negative number to stop writing numbers and calculate average");
int number = input.nextInt(); 
 		
while (number>=0)
{
		sum+=number;
		count++;
		System.out.println("type a negative number to stop writing numbers and calculate average");
		number = input.nextInt(); 
}
		
double average=(double)sum/count;
System.out.println("Average of your numbers is: "+average);
