# Prompt user for number of entries and store value
input = ask "How many numbers will be averaged?"
numbers = input.to_i

# Pre-defined float value that will be used to sum and average values
avg = 0.0

# Accept all values and sum together
numbers.times do
  input = ask "Input a number to be averaged:"
  num = input.to_i
  avg = avg + num
end

# Calculate the average
avg = avg / numbers

# Ouput the result
alert "The average of the numbers is " + avg.to_s + "."
