Program Explanation

This C# program is used to find the standard deviation of a set of given numbers. Create a list using ‘number’ variable. For loop is used to compute the mean from the start and up to the end of the list.

Compute the summation of all the values and assigning the value to‘s’ variable. Divide the value of ‘s’ variable value by the difference of end and start variable value. For loop is used to compute the mean from the start and up to the end of the list. Compute the power value by 2 to the difference between the values in the list by the mean variable value.

If condition statement is used to check the value of ‘start’ variable is greater than 0. If the condition is true then execute the statement and assign negative value of one to the n variable. Divide the value of ‘variance’ variable by the value of ‘n’ variable.

Compute the square to the value of ‘variance’ variable. Print the computed values of the mean, variance and standard deviation.
