Source:: Average.cs

Source:: Average.cs

Source:: Average.cs

Computes the average of a sequence of Double values that are obtained by invoking a transform function on each element of the input sequence.

public:
generic <typename TSource>
[System::Runtime::CompilerServices::Extension]
 static double Average(System::Collections::Generic::IEnumerable<TSource> ^ source, Func<TSource, double> ^ selector);

public static double Average<TSource> (this System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<TSource> source, Func<TSource,double> selector);

static member Average : seq<'Source> * Func<'Source, double> -> double

<Extension()>
Public Function Average(Of TSource) (source As IEnumerable(Of TSource), selector As Func(Of TSource, Double)) As Double

Type Parameters

TSource

The type of the elements of source.

Parameters

source: IEnumerable<TSource>

A sequence of values to calculate the average of.

selector: Func<TSource,Double>

A transform function to apply to each element.

Returns

Double

The average of the sequence of values.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

source or selector is null.

InvalidOperationException

source contains no elements.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use Average<TSource>(IEnumerable<TSource>, Func<TSource,Int64>) to calculate an average.

Note

string[] numbers = { "10007", "37", "299846234235" };

double average = numbers.Average(num => long.Parse(num));

Console.WriteLine("The average is {0}.", average);

// This code produces the following output:
//
// The average is 99948748093.

' Create an array of strings.
Dim numbers() As String = {"10007", "37", "299846234235"}

' Determine the average number after converting each
' string to an Int64 value.
Dim avg As Double =
numbers.Average(Function(number) Convert.ToInt64(number))

' Display the output.
Console.WriteLine($"The average is {avg}")

' This code produces the following output:
'
' The average is 99948748093

Type Parameters

TSource

The type of the elements of source.

Parameters

source: IEnumerable<TSource>

A sequence of values that are used to calculate an average.

selector: Func<TSource,Decimal>

A transform function to apply to each element.

Returns

Decimal

The average of the sequence of values.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

source or selector is null.

InvalidOperationException

source contains no elements.

OverflowException

The sum of the elements in the sequence is larger than Decimal.MaxValue.
