awk
Hello All,
I am trying to get the average of a set of numbers using awk. I only want to average the numbers on the first row of the file then put the average on the end of that row and then on to the second row but i can only get it to do the average for the whole file.
Here is the code i am using:

awk ' { sum = $2 + $3 }
END { average = sum / 2
printf "%d\n", average
}' all

Data in 'all' is something like this
blah 5 10
doh 20 30

I have managed to do this in a previous post but it was using for loops and i want to do it without loops if possible?

NAME

       Smokeping::matchers::Avgratio - detect changes in average median latency

OVERVIEW

       The Avgratio matcher establishes a historic average median latency over several measurement rounds. It compares this average, against a
       second average latency value again build over several rounds of measurement.

DESCRIPTION

       Call the matcher with the following sequence:

	type = matcher
	pattern =  Avgratio(historic=>a,current=>b,comparator=>o,percentage=>p)

       historic
	   The number of median values to use for building the 'historic' average.

       current
	   The number of median values to use for building the 'current' average.

       comparator
	   Which comparison operator should be used to compare current/historic with percentage.

       percentage
	   Right hand side of the comparison.

	 old <--- historic ---><--- current ---> now

EXAMPLE

       Take build the average median latency over 10 samples, use this to divide the current average latency built over 2 samples and check if it
       is bigger than 150%.

	Avgratio(historic=>10,current=>2,comparator=>'>',percentage=>150);

	avg(current)/avg(historic) > 150/100

       This means the matcher will activate when the current latency average is more than 1.5 times the historic latency average established over
       the last 10 rounds of measurement.
