float num,average,sum;
int i,n;
printf(“Maximum no. of inputs: “);
scanf(“%d”,&n);
for(i=1;i<=n;++i){ printf("Enter n%d: ",i); scanf("%f",&num); if(num<0.0) goto jump; /* control of the program moves to label jump */ sum=sum+num; } jump: average=sum/(i-1); printf("Average: %.2f",average); return 0; }
