How do you exclude a value of an Array?

Question

How do you create a method that excludes the lowest temperature and calculate the average temp. i just want a hint and not the complete solution, as I want to solve my programming problems myself. I have had only about 10 classes.. to comment on people comments my professor does not lecture and i have read my book looked back through it multiple times. I made this program to take a number from a user. That number is added into the array. That array is used to create an instance of the class `Temp` to print the lowest and highest temps. ``` class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { Console.Write("Enter a Temperature in Degrees:"); string n = Console.ReadLine(); int number = Convert.ToInt32( n); Temp t = new Temp(100, 52, 98, 30, 11, 54, number); Console.WriteLine("Lowest Temperature:{0}", t.lowest()); Console.WriteLine("Highest Temperature: {0}", t.highest()); Console.WriteLine("Average Temperature: {0}", t.Average()); } public class Temp { private int[] temp = new int[7]; // a…

This is very easy to do with a single loop:

```
public double Average()
{
    // Initialize smallest with the first value.
    // The loop will find the *real* smallest value.
    int smallest = temp[0];

// To calculate the average, we need to find the sum of all our temperatures,
    // except the smallest.
    int sum = temp[0];

// The loop does two things:
    // 1. Adds all of the values.
    // 2. Determines the smallest value.
    for (int c = 1; c < temp.Length; ++c)
    {
        if (temp[c] < smallest)
        {
            smallest = temp[c];    
        }
        sum += temp[c];
    }
    // The computed sum includes all of the values.
    // Subtract the smallest.
    sum -= smallest;

double avg = 0;
    // and divide by (Length - 1)
    // The check here makes sure that we don't divide by 0!
    if (temp.Length > 1)
    {
        avg = (double)sum/(temp.Length-1);
    }
   return avg;
}
```
