Methodologies and Libraries

This page explains how the Visual Average Calculator works — detailing how average values are calculated, what runs locally in your browser, and which technologies power the site. We prioritize transparency to ensure reliability, speed, and user trust.

Privacy at a glance: All calculations are processed directly within your browser. We do not store, transmit, or log any user data or calculation results on external servers.

1) Core Calculation Logic

Purpose: Performs accurate calculations for various types of averages — including arithmetic mean, weighted average, geometric mean, harmonic mean, and moving averages — all in real time.
Note: Every computation is implemented in C# with optimized numerical precision; no external statistical or mathematical libraries are used.

1.1 Implementation Summary

  • Each calculation type uses custom-built C# functions optimized for high performance and floating-point accuracy.
  • Input validation ensures proper handling of numeric and weighted datasets.
  • Weighted averages are computed using sum-product methods to avoid rounding inconsistencies.
  • No third-party or external math libraries are used — everything runs natively within the .NET Framework.

2) Average Computation Methods

  • Simple Average: Finds the arithmetic mean — sum of all values divided by their count.
  • Weighted Average: Applies user-defined weights so certain values influence the result more.
  • Stock Average: Calculates the average buy or sell price of stocks based on quantity and price.
  • Mean, Median, Mode: Provides three key measures — mean (average), median (middle value), and mode (most frequent value).
  • Moving Average: Computes averages over time to smooth short-term fluctuations.
  • Progressive Average: Updates the cumulative average as new values are added.
  • All results include precision control, rounding, and clear visual output.

3) Visualization Methodology

Once results are computed, they are presented visually using clear and responsive HTML and CSS components. The visual representation may include charts or progressive indicators for better understanding of average distributions. No external JavaScript or third-party libraries are used for computation — all logic and visualization are handled within native browser and .NET components. This ensures exceptional performance across mobile, tablet, and desktop platforms.

4) Application Stack

Frontend: ASP.NET (Web Forms), HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript
Language: C#
Database: Microsoft SQL Server
Target Framework: .NET Framework

Note: No user-entered data or results are stored on the server.

5) Accessibility & UX Notes

  • Inputs support numeric, weighted, and tabular data entry.
  • The interface includes accessible labels, clear contrast, and error handling for invalid entries.
  • Keyboard navigation and screen reader compatibility are verified using Lighthouse accessibility standards.
  • Responsive design ensures usability across various devices and screen sizes.

6) Security & Integrity

  • All user interactions and calculations are performed in your browser.
  • No cookies, session storage, or analytics are tied to individual calculation data.
