What you need to do to prepare for this exercise:
The objective for this exercise is to provide you with an opportunity to pull together the two major concepts that we've worked with recently: using arrays, and using basic classes. For this exercise, you will be provided with a starter class (a 'skeleton', if you will), and you should fill in those methods that are marked with 'TODO'. Included below is an example transcript of what your program should look like when it's run, after you've successfully implemented all the methods.
Example Transcript:
Data set 1 (Version 1): Avg: 6.00 ** **** ****** ******** ********** Data set 1 (Version 2): Avg: 7.20 ***** ******* ****** ******** ********** Data set 1 (Version 3): Avg: 7.20 ******* ***** ****** ******** ********** Data set 1 (Version 4): Avg: 7.60 ********* ***** ****** ******** ********** Data set 1 (Version 4): Avg: 7.60 Data set 2 (Version 1): Avg: 8.00 Data set 1: ********* ***** ****** ******** ********** Data set 2: ********** ********* ******** ******* ****** Press any key to continue . . .
Implement the GetAverage and PrintBarChart methods in the BarChart class.
GetAverage should return the average of all five values in the object’s array (no matter
what values are stored in the array).
PrintBarChart should produce output that matches the above example output. So if slot zero
in the array contained the value 2, and the following array elements contained 4, then
6, then 8, then 10, the correct output of this method would be:

You may want to run the sample code that has been provided to you, and confirm that it produces the
above, example output. You can do this by this running the code in the RunExercise method of
the BarChart_Demonstration class.
