Enumerable.Average Method (IEnumerable<Single>)

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Computes the average of a sequence of Single values.

Namespace:  System.Linq
Assembly:  System.Core (in System.Core.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
<ExtensionAttribute> _
Public Shared Function Average ( _
    source As IEnumerable(Of Single) _
) As Single

public static float Average(
    this IEnumerable<float> source
)

Parameters

Return Value

Type: System.Single
The average of the sequence of values.

Usage Note

In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type IEnumerable<Single>. When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
ArgumentNullException

source is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
InvalidOperationException

source contains no elements.

Remarks

In Visual Basic query expression syntax, an Aggregate Into Average() clause translates to an invocation of Average.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use Average(IEnumerable<Int32>) to calculate an average.

NoteNote:

This code example uses an overload of this overloaded method that is different from the specific overload that this topic describes. To extend the example to this topic, substitute the elements of the source sequence with elements of the appropriate numerical type.

 
      ' Create a list of integers.
      Dim grades As New List(Of Integer)(New Integer() {78, 92, 100, 37, 81})

      ' Determine the average value in the list.
      Dim avg As Double = grades.Average()

      ' Display the output.
      outputBlock.Text &= "The average grade is " & avg & vbCrLf

      ' This code produces the following output:
      '
      ' The average grade is 77.6


      List<int> grades = new List<int> { 78, 92, 100, 37, 81 };

      double average = grades.Average();

      outputBlock.Text += String.Format("The average grade is {0}.", average) + "\n";

      // This code produces the following output:
      //
      // The average grade is 77.6.
