Hi, does anyone know how to find the average of a linked list node, but the type of the node is the object of another class?

[lunar flame]

ok give me one sec i'll send my code sorry about that

[mint violet]

don't need code

need a proper description of what you're trying to do

then we can talk about code

[lunar flame]

ok

basically i have a class called rating with a constructor of String reviewerID and int rating. In my other class I have a linked list node that is a type of Rating I am trying to get an average rating from the rating class using the Rating linked list node

sounds like you want the average of the entire list, not just one node

iterate to add to a rolling sum and then divide by the amount of elements, that's how you get an average

[lunar flame]

ok thank you

[mint violet]

(average of a node is illogical. averages are fundamentally over multiple values)

[lunar flame]

yeah my bad i meant how do i find the average of the entire list when it's in the type of an object and not a double or int

sec

[lunar flame]

ok, thank you

[mint violet]

you just add the property you want to get the average of

if you're using streams, use map/mapToInt
