Statistics Calculator

Overview

Purpose

The Statistics Calculator is a user-friendly tool developed to efficiently compute essential statistical measures such as average, median, variance, and standard deviation from a dataset provided in a file. This project simplifies statistical analysis, offering a streamlined alternative to manual calculations or complex software.

Usage

To use the Statistics Calculator:

1. Prepare a .txt file named data.txt containing the dataset you wish to analyze. Each line in the file should represent one value of the statistical population, separated by a new line.

   Example:

   728
   763
   763
   764
   90.23
   74
   738
   ...
   

2. Run the program via the command line. Since the program is written in Go, execute the following command:

   $ go run main.go data.txt

   Replace main.go with your program file name and data.txt with the path to your dataset file.

Expected Output

The program will compute the average, median, variance, and standard deviation of the dataset and display the results in the following format:

Average: 560
Median: 738
Variance: 91545
Standard Deviation: 303

Note: Values are rounded to integers.

Notes
