Maybe you can break it down like this Count the numbers, say n multiply all the numbers together to , say product
then find nth root using pow( product,1/n) . if u compile from a shell put -lm to link the math library.

If you already know that it's the nth root of the product of the n values, then surely the only difficult thing is calculating the nth root. But there's a simple function in <math.h> that will do that for you. I know how to calculate the geometric mean by hand or calc but it is coding it that I'm at a bit of a loss here. Multiply n number of numbers and find the n root of the total multiplied. No problem there. Bill [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
