Question

// This program averages a set of numbers.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
int numCount;
double total = 0.0, average;

cout << "How many numbers do you want to average? ";
cin >> numCount;
for (int count = 0; count < numCount; count++)
{
double num;
cout << "Enter a number: ";
cin >> num;
total += num;
}
average = total / numCount;
cout << "The average is " << average << endl;
return 0;
}

I'm confused as to how this C++ code could potentially crash the program... I'm thinking it has something to do with the division between the double and the int... PLEASE HELP ME AND I WILL REWARD YOU! Thank you very much!!!

Explanation / Answer

division between double and integer is fine. only problem is when user enters numCount = 0. Then program will crash. you can include following code segement to avoid it : . . . cout > numCount; if(numCount == 0) { cout
