    Exclamation Problem with division

    import java.util.Scanner;

    public class CountPosAndNegNumbers {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

    Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

    int positive = 0;
    int negative = 0;
    int averagePos = 0;
    int averageNeg= 0;

    System.out.println("Enter an integer, the input ends if it is 0:");
    int numbers = input.nextInt();

    do {

    if (numbers > 0)
    {

    positive += numbers;
    }

    else if (numbers < 0)
    {

    negative += numbers;
    }

    numbers = input.nextInt();
    averagePos = Math.round(positive);
    averageNeg = Math.round(negative);

    } while (numbers != 0);

    System.out.println("The number of positives is:" + positive);
    System.out.println("The number of negatives is:" + negative);
    System.out.println("Average of positive numbers:" + averagePos);
    System.out.println("Average of negative numbers:" + averageNeg);





    }
    }







    I need help to find the average of the integers that are input but can't manage to solve the problem.

    If you just want the whole integer (no decimal) then you
    need to count the total amount of inputs for each type -
    i.e total input of positive, total input of negative. You would
    then use these values in the calculation against the totals of
    each numeric value result (total of negative numbers etc).
