- you will need a loop
- ReadLine will give you a string, you'll need to convert it into a number (remember the "Yay!" challenge?)
- then, you will want to accumulate a running total and also keep a count of the inputs
- after you get a "done", you will exit the loop
- then you can divide the total by the count to get the average
- finally, you will output the average and the program is over

444 Pointsi converted it . I will make a loop and use if/else but what does accumulate a running total and also keep a count of the inputs mean

229,644 PointsI was thinking that inside your loop, you would have something like this (your variable names may differ):
total += thisValue; // accumulate a running total
count += 1; // keep the count of inputs
