#include "std_lib_facilities.h"

//calculate smallest and largest

Output:
Enter a double
4.5
Enter another double or press n to continue and calculate the sum of distances.
6.7
Enter another double or press n to continue and calculate the sum of distances.
8.9
Enter another double or press n to continue and calculate the sum of distances.
n
sum of distances is: 20.1
the smallest distance is: 4.5
and the largest distance is: 8.9
the mean distance is: 6.7
