C Exercises: Counts the number of positive numbers and print the average of all positive values
C Basic Declarations and Expressions: Exercise-28 with Solution
Write a C program that read 5 numbers and counts the number of positive numbers and print the average of all positive values.
Pictorial Presentation:

C Code:
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
float numbers[5],total=0, avg;
int j, pctr=0;
printf("\nInput the first number: ");
scanf("%f", &numbers[0]);
printf("\nInput the second number: ");
scanf("%f", &numbers[1]);
printf("\nInput the third number: ");
scanf("%f", &numbers[2]);
printf("\nInput the fourth number: ");
scanf("%f", &numbers[3]);
printf("\nInput the fifth number: ");
scanf("%f", &numbers[4]);
for(j = 0; j < 5; j++) {
if(numbers[j] > 0)
{
pctr++;
total += numbers[j];
}
}
avg = total/pctr;
printf("\nNumber of positive numbers: %d", pctr);
printf("\nAverage value of the said positive numbers: %.2f", avg);
printf("\n");
return 0;
}
Sample Output:
Input the first number: 5 Input the second number: 8 Input the third number: 10 Input the fourth number: -5 Input the fifth number: 25 Number of positive numbers: 4 Average value of the said positive numbers: 12.00

C Programming: Tips of the Day
Is there a way to specify how many characters of a string to print out using printf()?
The basic way is:
printf ("Here are the first 8 chars: %.8s\n", "A string that is more than 8 chars");
The other, often more useful, way is:
printf ("Here are the first %d chars: %.*s\n", 8, 8, "A string that is more than 8 chars");
Here, you specify the length as an int argument to printf(), which treats the '*' in the format as a request to get the length from an argument.
You can also use the notation:
printf ("Here are the first 8 chars: %*.*s\n", 8, 8, "A string that is more than 8 chars");
This is also analogous to the "%8.8s" notation, but again allows you to specify the minimum and maximum lengths at runtime - more realistically in a scenario like:
printf("Data: %*.*s Other info: %d\n", minlen, maxlen, string, info);
The POSIX specification for printf() defines these mechanism
