Having trouble with Math.Min within a method. keeps initialising back to 0

Question

//Current method

public GradeStatistics ComputeStatistics()
{
GradeStatistics stats = new GradeStatistics();
float sum = 0;

foreach (float grade in grades)
{
stats.HighestGrade = Math.Max(grade, stats.HighestGrade);
stats.LowestGrade = Math.Min(grade, stats.LowestGrade);
sum += grade;
}
stats.AverageGrade = sum / grades.Count;
return stats;
}

// Current Main

static void Main(string[] args)
{

GradeBook book = new GradeBook();
book.AddGrade(91);
book.AddGrade(56.5f);
book.AddGrade(75);

GradeStatistics stats = book.ComputeStatistics();
Console.WriteLine(stats.AverageGrade);
Console.WriteLine(stats.HighestGrade);
Console.WriteLine(stats.LowestGrade);

}

Has no issues running the average or highest. but for some reason stats.LowestGrade keeps giving me the default value, instead of 56.6f

any help would be much appreciated

Answer 1

This works:

Answer 2

If your default value is 0, it will stay the minimum. Default to 100.

Answer 3

Link your code so we can run it. Using the app there is a + Insert... button OR share your code and copy to clipboard followed by pasting in the post.

Answer 4

make your stat.LowestGrade as the maximum grade possible before the first iteration, that might help

Answer 5

odd, for some reason it's still resulting in 0 and now my average is thrown off.

Answer 6

class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{

GradeBook book = new GradeBook();
book.AddGrade(91);
book.AddGrade(56.5f);
book.AddGrade(75);

GradeStatistics stats = book.ComputeStatistics();
Console.WriteLine(stats.AverageGrade);
Console.WriteLine(stats.HighestGrade);
Console.WriteLine(stats.LowestGrade);

}
}

those are the three classes i have. Thank you all so much for the help!
