What is the average rate of change?

See explaination

Explanation:

# Declare a named constant for array size here.

MAX_AVERAGES = 8

# Declare array here.

averages = []

# Write a loop to get batting averages from user and assign to array.

for i in range(MAX_AVERAGES):

averageString = input("Enter a batting average: ")

battingAverage = float(averageString)

# Assign value to array.

averages.append(battingAverage)

# Assign the first element in the array to be the minimum and the maximum.

minAverage = averages[0]

maxAverage = averages[0]

# Start out your total with the value of the first element in the array.

total = averages[0]

# Write a loop here to access array values starting with averages[1]

# Within the loop test for minimum and maximum batting averages.

for i in range(1, MAX_AVERAGES):

if averages[i] < minAverage:

minAverage = averages[i]

if averages[i] > maxAverage:

maxAverage = averages[i]

total += averages[i]

# Also accumulate a total of all batting averages.

# Calculate the average of the 8 batting averages.

average = total / MAX_AVERAGES

# Print the batting averages stored in the averages array.

for avg in averages:

print(avg)

# Print the maximum batting average, minimum batting average, and average batting average.

print('Maximum batting average is ' + str(maxAverage))

print('Minimum batting average is ' + str(minAverage))

print('Average batting average is ' + str(average)

The complete program is as follows:

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Main{

   public static void main(String args[]){

       Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in);

       final int lent = 8;

       Double averages[] = new Double[lent];

       int loopIndex;

       double battingAverage;

       String averageString;

       double min, max;

       double total, average;

       for(loopIndex = 0;loopIndex<lent;loopIndex++){

       System.out.print("Enter a batting average: ");

       averageString = s.nextLine();

       battingAverage = Double.parseDouble(averageString);

       averages[loopIndex] = battingAverage;        }

       min = averages[0];max = averages[0];

       total = averages[0];

       for(loopIndex = 1;loopIndex<lent;loopIndex++){

       if(averages[loopIndex]>=max){

           max = averages[loopIndex];        }

       if(averages[loopIndex]<=min){

           min = averages[loopIndex];        }

       total+=averages[loopIndex];        }

       battingAverage = total/8;

       for(loopIndex = 0;loopIndex<lent;loopIndex++){

       System.out.println(averages[loopIndex]+" ");        }

       System.out.println("Average: "+battingAverage);

       System.out.println("Minimum: "+min);

       System.out.println("Maximum: "+max);

       System.exit(0);

       }}
