TimeSpan average

Question

I have code like this were I am repeatedly doing something and I want to get the avergae time it takes to complete that task.

        List<TimeSpan> TimeDisplay = new List<TimeSpan>();

        while(some condition)
        {
            Stopwatch sw = new Stopwatch();
                  sw.Start();
            TimeSpan temp;


            //DO SOMETHING\\

            sw.Stop();
            temp = sw.Elapsed
            TimeDisplay.Add(temp);

        }

        TimeSpan timeaverage = TimeDisplay.Average;

        System.Console.Writeline("{0}", timeaverage);

But I get an error on the second to last line saying I can't convert method group 'Average' to 'System.TimeSPan'

Answer 1

try this:

TimeSpan timeaverage = TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(TimeDisplay.Average(i=>i.TotalMilliseconds));

Answer 2

TimeSpan timeaverage = TimeSpan.FromTicks(Convert.ToInt64(TimeDisplay.Average(ts => ts.Ticks)));
