While loop help

Hi, I have written a while loop, and I would like your  help to make it run.

Thanks.

import java.util.* ; //In this program the  user types in 10 numbers. //The program then adds all numbers and calculates the average . public class numMean {    public static void main(String[] args){        int i, sum, n ;        i = 0 ;        sum = 0 ;        Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in) ;        while(i <= 10){                        System.out.print("Type a number.") ;                n = sc.nextInt() ;                    sum = sum + n ;                        i++ ;                        int mean = sum/ i ;                }               System.out.println(mean) ;         System.exit(0) ;        } }

Can you describe your problem in more detail? What are you expecting to happen? What is happening instead?

The variable mean is declared inside the while loop so it's only visible there. Outside the while loop, mean does not exist.

Check your loop condition. You have an off-by-one error in logic.

Don't write System.exit(). Least of all where you put it; your program is about to terminate normally anyway.
Lat's have some guesses about what's gone wrong. Is your loop running a different number of times from what you expected, as Junilu has hinted? Are you entering small numbers and getting an average of 0?

The loop didn't work. I changed it as Junilu advised and it now works.

Thanks it now works.

just one more question . Why does Netbeans report this error ?

NewClass.java:23: error: reached end of file while parsing

Looks like you have a stray .java file. You probably just want to find it and delete it.
