Help with loops inside a method

Question

I am having a bunch of problems creating a loop inside my 'mean' method. What i want do is set up a loop to give me the average of the numbers of the input that i entered. Can anyone assist me in creating this loop?
My code:
import java.io.*;
import java.text.*;
import java.util.StringTokenizer;
public class Labtest6{
public static void main (String args []) throws IOException {
int MAX = 100;
int MIN = 0;
int [] list = new int [MAX];
int count = 0; // ammount of items//
double guess;
double x;
double avg;
double var;
double stdDev;
BufferedReader stdin = new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader (System.in));
NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getNumberInstance ();
nf.setMaximumFractionDigits (2);
nf.setMinimumFractionDigits (2);
count = read_list (list);
avg = mean (list, count);
System.out.println (count);
System.out.println (avg);
public static int read_list (int [] list)throws IOException {
BufferedReader stdin = new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader (System.in));
int count = 0;
String item = stdin.readLine ();
while (item != null)
list [count] = Integer.parseInt (item);
++ count;
item = stdin.readLine ();
return (count);
public static double mean (int [] list, double count) {
thanks

That's not our job. It is your homework. Once you have made an attempt at it and can't get it to work, paste your code and ask a specific question. You won't get any help if all you do is whine about how you can't do it.
P.S. When pasting code, highlight it and click the code button to retain formatting.
