(Debug) By mistake, a programmer puts the statement average = total / count; in the while loop immediately after the statement total = total + num; in Program. As a result, the while loop becomes the following:

while (count <= MAXNUMS){cout << "Enter a number: ";cin >> num;total = total + num;average = total / count;count++;}

a. Will the program yield the correct result with this while loop?


b. From a programming perspective, which while loop is better to use and why?

#include #include using namespace std;int main( ){const int MAXNUMS = 4;int count;double num, total, average;cout << "\nThis program will ask you to enter "<< MAXNUMS << " numbers.\n";count = 1;total = 0;while (count <= MAXNUMS){cout << "Enter a number: ";cin >> num;total = total + num;count++;}count--;average = total / count;cout << "\nThe average of the numbers is " << average << endl;return 0;}
