output doesn't show following do/while loop

[Napwneon]

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main ()
{
	int x, a = 1, INT_MAX, INT_MIN, sum = 0;
	char response;
	double avg;
	
	do 
	{
		cout << "Enter number " << a++ << ": ";
		cin >> x;
		if (x > INT_MAX)
			INT_MAX = x;
		else
		if (x < INT_MIN)
			INT_MIN = x;
		else
		sum += x;
		avg = (sum / a);
		cout << "Do you want to enter another number?";
		cin >> response;
	}
	while (response == 'y' || response == 'Y');

	cout << "The smallest number is " << INT_MIN << ", and the largest number is " << INT_MAX << endl;
	cout << "The average is " << avg;
	return 0;
}

I essentially have a program that someone inputs numbers into until they answer 'n', then the program spits out a minimum, maximum and average value for all the numbers.

Right now the issue is that when the loop stops the output afterwards doesn't show up all all:

	cout << "The smallest number is " << INT_MIN << ", and the largest number is " << INT_MAX << endl;
	cout << "The average is " << avg;

This section doesn't display in the output - what I am doing wrong?

Thanks

Also, I have no idea if that formula to calculate average is correct (I think it is, though)

How did this compile for you? INT_MAX and INT_MIN are constants defined in limits.h. You need to find different variable names.

[Napwneon]

I didn't get any errors compiling this in GCC. My professor advised us to use INT_MAX and INT_MIN, but I obviously did that wrong, apparently.

Regardless - assuming that INT_MIN and INT_MAX are just normal variables and not defined constants, what I am doing wrong here? The code works for the first few commands - I can enter numbers and repeat this when I input y, but the moment I answer n the program exits

[Return 0]

Well first of all, INT_MIN and INT_MAX are never initialized. So what number are you comparing x to?

        else
        sum += x;
        avg = (sum / a);

This else is never going to execute unless x == INT_MIN or INT_MAX. Is that really what you want? You should be: sum+= x; each iteration of the loop, but if x > or < one of the variables you will miss adding that number to sum. You are also trying to figure the average potentially in each loop. avg = (sum / a ) should be outside the loop.

The program ends or the console window just closes so fast you don't see the output?

[Napwneon]

The program ends - the console is still there

[Napwneon]

I believe it was the compiler that was the problem - switched computers, and the output showed itself. Now for trying to figure out the code itself....

[Return 0]

Just fix the errors I've pointed out and you should be good.
