第7章 指针 第8题

题目：

在统计学中，经常需要统计一组数据的均值和方差。

均值的定义为，方差的定义为。

设计一个函数，对给定的一组数据返回它们的均值和方差。

代码：

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

void function(double a[], int n, double *average, double *variance);

int main()
{
	int n;
	double average = 0, variance = 0;

	cout << "统计一组数据的均值和方差" << endl << endl;
	cout << "请输入这组数据的个数：";
	cin >> n;
	double *a = new double[n];

	cout << "请逐个输入这组数据：";
	for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) cin >> a[i];

	function(a, n, &average, &variance);

	cout << endl << "这组数据的均值为" << average << " , 方差为" << variance << endl << endl;

	system("pause");
	return 0;
}

void function(double a[], int n, double *average, double *variance)
{
	int i;
	double sum = 0;

	for (i = 0; i < n; ++i) sum = sum + a[i];
	*average = sum / n;
	
	sum = 0;   //重用sum

	for (i = 0; i < n; ++i) sum = sum + (a[i] - *average)*(a[i] - *average);
	*variance = sum / n;
}
