double average(double* array, int count);     

int main() {
  double values[] = {1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0};

  cout << "Average = "<< average(values, (sizeof values)/(sizeof values[0]))<< endl;

  return 0;
}

double average(double* array, int count) {
  double sum = 0.0;                           
  for(int i = 0 ; i < count ; i++)
    sum += *array++;                          
  return sum/count;                           
}

Average = 5.5
