#include <iostream>
using namespace std;


int main()
{
    float x = 1, y, average=0,sum=0;


    // Smallest & largest
    float min_v, max_v;
    // Initialization state
    bool initialized {false};


    while (x < 11) {
        cin >> y;


        // Break out of the loop if
        // input failed
        if(!cin.good()) break;


        // Initialization check, used
        // to initialize min_v & max_v
        // with the first value.
        if(!initialized)
        {
            min_v = max_v = y;
            initialized = true;
        }


        // Check whether y is less
        // than min_v, if so,
        // assign y to min_v 
        if(y < min_v)
            min_v = y;


        // Check whether y is larger
        // than max_v, if so,
        // assign y to max_v 
        if(y > max_v)
            max_v = y;
        sum=sum+y;
        average=sum/10;
        x++;
    }
    cout<<"\nSum ="<<sum;
    cout<<"\nAverage = "<<average;
    cout << "\nMin value: " << min_v << endl;
    cout << "Max value: " << max_v;


    return 0;
