C++ Exercises: Asked user to input positive integers to process count, maximum, minimum, and average

C++ For Loop: Exercise-15 with Solution

Write a C++ program that asks the user to enter positive integers in order to process count, maximum, minimum, and average or terminate the process with -1.

C++ Exercises: Asked user to input positive integers to process count, maximum, minimum, and average or terminate the process with -1

Sample Solution :-

C++ Code :

#include <iostream> // Include input-output stream header
#include <climits> // Include limits header for INT_MAX
#include <iomanip> // Include header for input/output manipulation

using namespace std; // Using standard namespace to avoid writing std::

int main() // Start of the main function
{
    int posnum, ctr = 0, sum = 0; // Declaration of integer variables 'posnum', 'ctr', 'sum' and initialization to 0
    int max = 0; // Initialization of 'max' to 0
    int min = INT_MAX; // Initialization of 'min' to the maximum integer value available in the system
    int terval = -1; // Variable 'terval' initialized with -1 as a termination condition

    // Display a message to input positive integers or -1 to terminate
    cout << "\n\n Input a positive integers to calculate some processes or -1 to terminate:\n";
    cout << "----------------------------------------------------------------------------\n";
    cout << " Input positive integer or " << terval << " to terminate: ";

    // Read input until termination condition is met (-1 is entered)
    while (cin >> posnum && posnum != terval) 
    {
        if (posnum > 0) // Check if the input is positive
        {
            ++ctr; // Increment the counter for positive numbers
            sum += posnum; // Calculate sum of positive numbers
            if (max < posnum)
                max = posnum; // Update maximum value if the current input is larger
            if (min > posnum)
                min = posnum; // Update minimum value if the current input is smaller
        }
        else 
        {
            // Display an error message for negative inputs or inputs other than -1
            cout << "error: input must be positive! if negative, the value will only be -1! try again..." << endl;
        }
        // Prompt for the next input or termination
        cout << " Input positive integer or " << terval << " to terminate: ";
    }

    // Display the result after termination
    cout << "\n Your input is for termination. Here is the result below: " << endl;
    cout << " Number of positive integers is: " << ctr << endl;
    if (ctr > 0) 
	{
        cout << " The maximum value is: " << max << endl;
        cout << " The minimum value is: " << min << endl;
        cout << fixed << setprecision(2); // Set output to fixed precision of 2 decimal places
        cout << " The average is " << (double)sum / ctr << endl; // Calculate and display the average of positive integers
    }
}

Sample Output:

 Input a positive integers to calculate some processes or -1 to terminate:                                                                      
----------------------------------------------------------------------------                                                                  
 Input positive integer or -1 to terminate: 25                         
 Input positive integer or -1 to terminate: 15                         
 Input positive integer or -1 to terminate: 35                         
 Input positive integer or -1 to terminate: -1                         
                                                                       
 Your input is for termination. Here is the result below:              
 Number of positive integers is: 3                                     
 The maximum value is: 35                                              
 The minimum value is: 15                                              
 The average is 25.00
