    // average them all

    cout<<"Your Average is: "<< avg<<'\n';

    cin.get();
    return 0;
}


is there somthin wrong with this or is it that u cannot add vales to arrays?? i want the final outcome to show the average but instead it shows 502328282 y?

what i can see is when u cin the value start from first element in the array, which is grades[0], but when in the for loop u sum up the value start from the second element which is grades[1]..

Your problem is not the starting of the for loop but it is the ending of the for loop

in your for loop it is correct that you start at one and if you wanted the begining of the array you would start at zero however at the end you state less than five which would mean it stops at four your array however is assigned 4 values that would be grades[0-3] which means you must state that the loop stops at less than four so that the unnassigned variable isnt used thats why your average is all messed up
