Computes the average of a sequence of Int32 values.
Namespace: System.Linq
Assembly: System.Core (in System.Core.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration

Public Shared Function Average ( _
source As IEnumerable(Of Integer) _
) As Double
public static double Average(
this IEnumerable<int> source
)
Parameters
- source
Type: System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<Int32>
A sequence of Int32 values to calculate the average of.
Return Value

Usage Note
In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type IEnumerable<Int32>. When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter.

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.
' 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.
