How to calculate average in visual studio vb.net code ? (matrix)

Question

I need to calculate average of the elements of the matrix in vb.net

This is my matrix

5	2	1	2
5	5	2	-2
1	5	-1	1
1	-1	-5	-2

Answer 1

One of these may be your "matrix"

' multidimensional array
Dim m1(,) As Integer =
    {
        {5, 2, 1, 2},
        {5, 5, 2, -2},
        {1, 5, -1, 1},
        {1, -1, -5, -2}
    }
' jagged array
Dim m2()() As Integer =
    {
        New Integer() {5, 2, 1, 2},
        New Integer() {5, 5, 2, -2},
        New Integer() {1, 5, -1, 1},
        New Integer() {1, -1, -5, -2}
    }
' list of lists
Dim m3 = New List(Of List(Of Integer)) From
    {
        New List(Of Integer)() From {5, 2, 1, 2},
        New List(Of Integer)() From {5, 5, 2, -2},
        New List(Of Integer)() From {1, 5, -1, 1},
        New List(Of Integer)() From {1, -1, -5, -2}
    }

And for each of those matrices, here is how you can calculate the average

Dim a1 As Double
For i = m1.GetLowerBound(0) To m1.GetUpperBound(0)
    For j = m1.GetLowerBound(1) To m1.GetUpperBound(1)
        a1 += m1(i, j)
    Next
Next
a1 /= (m1.GetUpperBound(0) - m1.GetLowerBound(0) + 1) * (m1.GetUpperBound(1) - m1.GetLowerBound(1) + 1)

Dim a2 As Double
' count items because jagged array can have different # of items in each level
Dim c2 As Integer 
For i = m2.GetLowerBound(0) To m2.GetUpperBound(0)
    For j = m2(i).GetLowerBound(0) To m2(i).GetUpperBound(0)
        a2 += m2(i)(j)
        c2 += 1
    Next
Next
a2 /= c2

Dim a3 = m3.SelectMany(Function(l) l).Average()

Console.WriteLine($"Multidimensional avg: {a1}")
Console.WriteLine($"Jagged avg: {a2}")
Console.WriteLine($"List of List avg: {a3}")

Multidimensional avg: 1.1875
Jagged avg: 1.1875
List of List avg: 1.1875
