I disagree. I think the exercise (to compute the average of three
floating-point values using an array) has two parts: to read values
into an array, and to compute the average of the values in an array.
Both are sensible things to do. The fact that the combination
is more easily done without using an array would be relevant in a
real-world program, but not in an introductory exercise.
