POWhen debugging why does visual studio say median is an unassigned variable? -Answered

Body
copied!<p>So, I am trying to make a console program that analyzes data(well kind of). The problem is when I go to print the median it tells me it is unassigned(well the debugger says this actually). What did I do wrong? using System;</p> <pre><code>using System; class midpointFormula { static void Main() { double min, max, range, median, quartile1, quartile3, internalQuartileRange, IQR15; int dataPoints, dataPoints1, count, count1; double[] dataSet; bool isEven; count = 0; Console.WriteLine("This program allows you to find several diffrent values from the data"); Console.Write("Please enter the amount of data points you would like to use: "); dataPoints = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine()); dataPoints1 = dataPoints - 1; dataSet = new double[dataPoints]; #region Enter Data while (count < dataPoints) { count1 = count + 1; Console.Write("Please enter the {0} datapoint: ", count1); dataSet[count] = double.Parse(Console.ReadLine()); ++count; } #endregion min = dataSet[0]; max = dataSet[dataSet.Length - 1]; range = max - min; #region Even Check if (dataPoints % 2 == 0) { isEven = true; } else { isEven = false; } #endregion if (isEven == true) { int medianPoint; medianPoint = (dataPoints / 2) - 1; median = dataSet[medianPoint]; } else #region Output Console.WriteLine("Minimum is : {0}", min); Console.WriteLine("Maximum is : {0}", max); Console.WriteLine("Range is : {0}", range); Console.WriteLine("Median is : {0}", median); #endregion Console.ReadKey(); } </code></pre> <p>}</p> <p>Note: Yes, I know if there is an uneven amount of datapoints it will not calculate the data points, I am still working on that.</p>
