ok so im making this console app in which I have to allow the user to enter any number of values then display orignal value , and then the percentage of the original value to the total. My question is how do I initialize my memory locations correctly for a correct report to display ?

also is my method of asking for more values correct?

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
    class intReport
    {
        static void Main()
        {
            //declare memory locations
            //
            //user provided value  
            int userInteger = 1;  
            int userTotal= 1; //totals the value user provides
            double percentage = (userInteger / userInteger) * 100;
            string userInput; //read user input
            bool dataOutput = true;

            DisplayInstructions();

            while (dataOutput)
            {
                userInteger = GetInput();
                DisplayReport(userInteger, userTotal, percentage);

                Console.WriteLine("Would you like to enter additional values?");
                userInput = Console.ReadLine();
                if (userInput == "y" || userInput == "Y")
                {
                    Console.Clear();

                }
                else
                    dataOutput = false; 
            } // end of while loop 

        } // end of main 

        public static void DisplayInstructions()
        {
            Console.Write("In this program you will be allowed to enter any number of values the program" +
                          "\n will then total the values and display a report which will show the original"+
                          "\nentered value as a percentage of the total" +

            Console.Clear();
        } //end of display instructions 

        public static int GetInput() 
        {
            int input; 
            Console.WriteLine("You will be asked to enter a integer.");
            Console.WriteLine(" ");
            Console.Write("Please enter a value: ");
            int.TryParse(Console.ReadLine(), out input);                 
            Console.Clear();
            return input;

        {
            //int userInteger;
            //int userTotal;
            //double percentage;

            Console.WriteLine("Original Value = {0} ", userInteger);
            Console.WriteLine("Org. Value Percentage to the total = {0} ", percentage);

            return percentage; 
         } //end of percentage method 

        public static void DisplayReport(int userInteger, int userTotal, double percentage)
        {
            int i;
            Console.Write("\n");
            Console.WriteLine("Your Results: ");
            Console.WriteLine("-------------  ");
            Console.WriteLine("Original Value: {0}", userInteger);
            Console.WriteLine("Percentage: {0}", percentage); 

            
        } // emd of display report 
        
        } // end of class 


    } // end of namespace

On line 16 userTotal should start with being 0, not 1.
On line 17 Percentage will always equal 100.
Can you use arrays?

Yes i can use arrays just didnt know how to implement them in this case for such a simple problem...guess I should start doing that

Ok so I added a array and added some code to my Percentage method is the correct method ?

            int userInteger = 0;  
            int userTotal= 0; //totals the value user provides
            //percentage always 100
            double percentage = 100;
            string userInput; //read user input
            double avg;

Are you allowed to use LINQ to objects and lists? If so, these have some nice functions built in for summation.

namespace ConsoleApplication1
    {
        class intReport
        {
            static List<int> myInts = new List<int>();

            static void Main()
            {

                DisplayInstructions();

                Console.Write("Would you like to enter a value?");
                while (char.ToLower(Console.ReadKey(true).KeyChar) == 'y')
                {
                    myInts.Add(GetInput());
                    Console.Write("Would you like to enter additional values?");
                }
                if (myInts.Count != 0)
                    DisplayReport();
                else
                    Console.WriteLine(Environment.NewLine + "Program exitted with no data entered");
                Console.ReadLine();
            } 

            public static void DisplayInstructions()
            {
                Console.Write("In this program you will be allowed to enter any number of values the program" +
                              "\n will then total the values and display a report which will show the original" +
                              "\nentered value as a percentage of the total" +
                              "\n\n Please press any key to continue.");
                Console.ReadKey();
                Console.Clear();
            } 

            public static int GetInput()
            {
                int input = 0;
                Console.Write(Environment.NewLine + "Please enter a value: ");
                while (!int.TryParse(Console.ReadLine(), out input))
                    Console.Write(Environment.NewLine + "Invalid value, enter a new value: ");
                Console.Clear();
                return input;
            } 


            public static void DisplayReport()
            {
                int tTotal = myInts.Sum();
                double dAvg = (double)tTotal / myInts.Count;
                int iCount = 1;
                Console.Write("\n");
                Console.WriteLine("Your Results: ");
                Console.WriteLine("-------------  ");
                myInts.ForEach(cur => Console.WriteLine("Entry {0} -> Value = {1} , Percent of Total = {2}% ", (iCount++).ToString(), cur.ToString(), (((double)cur / tTotal) * 100).ToString()));
                Console.WriteLine("-------------");
                Console.WriteLine("Average = {0} ", dAvg);
            }         } 
    }

If this is for school and they haven't taught you about either LINQ or Lists<> then I would sugguest not handing this in. Rather, try learning from it and post any questions you might have.

yes its for school practice. Thanks anyway for providing a solution. My method is I strip down responses like these and understand line by line
