VB Program for Displaying the Average of 20 Marks

Below is the program from today’s lesson. It is not completed, I would like you to Change the program to display the average with two decimal places. Please add your solution with a comment below.

Private Sub CmdStart_Click()
'load an Array with data from a list box
'list box is hidden on the form
'List Boxes count from 0 so add a heading to the fist item
Dim IntNumber(20) As Integer
Dim StrName(20) As String
Dim intavg As Integer
Call Load_Array(IntNumber(), StrName())
Call Calc_Average(IntNumber(), intavg)
Call Display_Array(IntNumber(), StrName(), intavg)
End Sub

Private Sub Load_Array(ByRef Number() As Integer, ByRef StrName() As String)
Dim Counter As Integer 'local Variable
For Counter = 1 To 20
Number(Counter) = LstNumbers.List(Counter)
StrName(Counter) = LstNames.List(Counter)
Next
End Sub


Private Sub Calc_Average(ByRef IntNumber() As Integer, ByRef intavg As Integer)
Dim IntSum As Integer
For Counter = 1 To 20
IntSum = IntSum + IntNumber(Counter)
Next
intavg = IntSum / 20
End Sub

Private Sub Display_Array(ByRef Number() As Integer, ByRef StrName() As String, ByVal intavg)
'Standard procedure as used in previous programs
Dim Counter As Integer 'local Variable
For Counter = 1 To 20
Form1.Print StrName(Counter) & " scored " & Number(Counter) & "%"
Next
Form1.Print "Average = " & intavg & "%"
End Sub
