Golang Program to Calculate the Average of Numbers in a Given List


Input array is: [2, 4, 1, 6, 5]

Sum = 2 + 4 + 1 + 6 + 5 => 18

Average = 18/5 => 3.6 ~ 3

To calculate the average of numbers in a given list, we can take following steps −

  • Let's take an input list of numbers.
  • Find the sum of numbers using sum() method.
  • The sum method calculates the sum of numbers by iterating the given list.
  • Print the average by dividing the sum with the length of the given list.

Example

 Live Demo

package main
import (
   "fmt"
)
func sum(arr []int) int{
   result := 0
   for _, i :=range arr {
      result += i
   }
   return result
}
func main() {
   arr := []int{2, 4, 1, 6, 5}
   fmt.Println("Given list is: ", arr)
   res := sum(arr)
   fmt.Println("Average of numbers is: ", res/len(arr))
}

Output

Given list is: [2 4 1 6 5]
Average of numbers is: 3
