while loop question

[Bobby Consaw]

hey guys, great site,
java n00b here, question if you will, please.

given the following header: pubic void sumAndAverageRandom()

I need to write a method called sumAndAverageRandom that generates and displays 10 random numbers in the range 1-100. The method should also calculate the sum and average of the 10 random.
I can generate the 10 numbers, but Im lost on how to tie in sum and average in their also !
any help appreciated

thanks

public void displayRandom()
    {
        Random randGen = new Random();
        int i = 0 ; 
        int number ;
        while(i<10){
            number = randGen.nextInt(100)+1 ;
            System.out.println(number);
            i=i+1;
        }
    }

If you were given 10 numbers, how would you calculate their sum and average if you didn't have a computer?

(Also you should declare your method public. The compiler is very serious and won't laugh at what you posted, but others might.)

i assume i need other int's sum and average,

Sorry i seriously did not understand the question. Happy if you have found out the answer. Else can you elaborate a little more.
If you really need the sum then you can add in the loop all the numbers you generate and div by 10 after the loop to get the average.
Paul - I dint understand your comment either

You are on the right track with your approach. It just misses the sum and average calculation:

	public void sumAndAverageRandom() {
		Random random = new Random();
		int sum = 0;
		for (int i=0; i<10; i++) {
			int number = random.nextInt(100)+1;
			System.out.println(number);
			sum += number;
		}
		System.out.println("Sum: " + sum);
		System.out.println("Avg: " + sum/10);
	}
