Please bare with me. I am still a newb at programming and this may seem a bit confusing, but I have many comments and debug lines. This is an extremely long code, but could the advanced programmers out there please help me out? The goal of my program is to simply read an expected number of values, read the values (on one line) themselves, and print their averages. The expected number of values is used as a counter in a while loop. I am trying to make my program robust so that it will print an error when something other than an integer is entered. Therefore, I declare a char string, determine whether each value of string is a digit or letter, and convert the character of that string into an int. My problem with this program is my first while loop. The first loop seems to be fine, but second time around, it is unable to read user input. It instead uses the last output printed to the screen as the input. Any suggestions/help will be greatly appreciated. Here's my program:
* Read in a number of values to read and then print the average
* of those values.

}With the following input, I hope to get the following output:
5
10 20 30 40 50
Average of 5 values is 30.00
6
50 70 whatever 40 60
Error! Can't read expected value #2.
Average of 2 values is 60.00
