how do i calculate the average of an array within a function

drucker600

int numbers = 10;
float [] x = new float[numbers];
float f = 0;

void setup() {
  populate();
}
void populate() {
    for (int i = 0; i < numbers; i++) {
    float x = int(random (0,100));
    println(x);
    }
}

this is what i have so far and i have the task of finding the average of the array using a float variable, how do i do this?? i can't figure it out for the life of me.

thanks, sorry its my first time posting and i was rushing, i dont want it to return the value of the average i just want it to save the average

... I just want it to save the average.

I don't get it. Either you want the final average or the early sum:

return sum/arr.length; // returns array's sum average.
return sum; // returns array's sum.
