Andresest (3)
Hey guys, first time poster. I'm currently working on a class assignment and i ws going pretty well except i ran into this syntax error.. "expecting a ')' " Which is located on the first comma after the "num" variable any help would e greatly appreciated. It's located on "calcAverage" function. i'm not exactly sure why this error popped up and i've tried some different experiments to see if itd go away but so far i'm stumped.. Thanks!

	double average = sum/4;

	
}

int findLowest()

On line 47, what you meant to do was call the function findLowest(), but you've done so incorrectly, because of the type specifier int.

However, several things I noticed:

1.) If findLowest() returns an integer, you need to assign the return value of that function to something, in order to use it.

1.5) I'm assuming that findLowest() will return the lowest of the parameters, however, they're doubles, and the result will be truncated.

2.) The declaration and definition of findLowest() don't match. Also, findLowest() doesn't do anything.
