I am new to VB.NET and I am trying to write a program that finds the average of all the even numbers between 1 and a user entered number (both inclusive). I am trying to make use of a looping construct, and not a formula. I know that I have may have to use the Modulus function as well as writing a averaging function, but I do not know how to implement it. Any ideas of code examples or what I am trying to do here? Thanks in advance for your time!

VB.NET Modulus/Averaging program

By using the Modulus function, you will be able to tell if the item is odd or even very easily.
i.e.:
If i mod 2 = 0 then the number is even.
If i mod 2 <> 0 then the number is odd.
Using this, you can loop through your numbers (1 through given number) and add these numbers together into a variable. You will also need to keep a count of the numbers with which you have added, of course, to get the average at the end.
