I am trying to call in a method to calculate average from data that has been input in an array using the scanner class, but somehow the average formula is not working properly. I have tried correcting it for a long time but the output looks something like "[I@34d0cdd0" in place of numbers. Can you please help point out what am I doing wrong? I am new to this, any help is really appreciated. Thanks.
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Programxx {
public static void main(String[] args) {
//Declare variables
int number;


Scanner input = new Scanner (System.in);

System.out.println("Enter the numbers you want to calculate the average of : ");
//get total numbers needed for average
number = input.nextInt();

//validate input (for average there should at least be 2 numbers)
while (number <=1)
{
System.out.print("You didn't enter a valid value. Enter the numbers you want to calculate the average of : ");
number = input.nextInt();
}

//create array for numbers entered
int[] ar = new int[number];

for (int I = 0; I < number; I++) {
System.out.print("Number " + I + " : ");
ar[i] = input.nextInt();
}
input.close(); // input close

average (ar);
System.out.println("The total average for the array of numbers is : " + ar);
}
// method to calculate and return the average of passed array
public static double average (int [] array) {

double avgs;
double total=0;

for (int I = 0; I < array.length; I++)
{
total =array[i] + total;
}
avgs = (total/array.length);
return avgs;
}
}

When you call average(ar) you're discarding the return value and using the address for the array to print out.

Try adding a new variable and capture the return value from the average method. Then output that variable instead of ar.

Does that make sense?
