Average Calculating program (New to this Forum)

[13CjNwbp]

This is a homework problem, but I am stuck and looking for advice. The program is supposed give the average of the inputted values. It is also supposed to output the number of positive/negative numbers. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance!

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
cout << "Entering 0 will terminate the sequence of input values." << endl;
cout << "Enter a number: ";
float input;

float count = 1;
float sum = input;
float average = input;
int pos_nums = 0;
int neg_nums = 0;

while (input != 0)
{
cout << "Enter a number: ";
cin >> input;
{

average = sum/count;

if (input > 0) pos_nums++;

else (input < 0) neg_nums++;

}
}

cout << "Number of positive values: " << pos_nums << endl;
cout << "Number of negative values: " << neg_nums << endl;
cout << "The average of all entered values: " << average << endl;

return 0;
}

Hi,
Don't know why your account is closed, but you are definitely calculating the 'average' the wrong way.
Try moving it outside the for loop.
Do that and let we know.
