The complete program is given below.

Complete Summing Program

The variable total is declared to be of double type, since the sum of the doubles in the array will be a double. It is initialized to zero. Sums should be initialized to zero as a matter of course.

class SumArray
{

  public static void main ( String[] args ) 
  {
    double[] array =  { -47.39, 24.96, -1.02, 3.45, 14.21, 32.6, 19.42 } ;

    // declare and initialize the total
    double   total =   0.0 ;

    // add each element of the array to the total
    for ( int index=0; index < array.length; index++ )
    { 
      total =  total + array[ index ]  ;

    }
      
    System.out.println("The total is: " + total );
  }
}      

The program visits each element of the array, in order, adding each to the total. When the loop exits, total will be correct. The statement

total =  total + array[ index ]  ;

would not usually be used. It is more common to use the "+=" operator:

total += array[ index ]  ;

QUESTION 14:

If you know the sum of the elements in an array of numbers, and know how many elements there are, how can you compute the average of the elements?
