Asking the user to enter in numbers, getting min/max/and average - input

Question

Hi guys I'm have a real hard time for some reason trying to get this code worked out. My guide lines are:
Create a new Scanner object and save it into a variable name of your choice
Declare an integer variable for the current user’s input and initialize it to something that is NOT 0 (we will call it intInput in these instructions – the name is arbitrary, though)
Create a while loop, with the condition being that intInput is not equal to 0
Inside of this loop, call the nextInt() method of your Scanner object and store the value into intInput
I'm not getting any errors but its not working the way I thought it would.
and here is my code:
import java.util.Scanner;
// class name matches the file name
public class Lab5
{
// we must have a main method to run the program
`enter code here`public static void main(String[] args)
{
Scanner scan= new Scanner(System.in);
int userInput = 1;
int minVal = Integer.MIN_VALUE;
int maxVal = Integer.MAX_VALUE;
double average = 0;
int holdNum = 0;
double numSum = 0;
System.out.print ("Please enter numbers and to finish the program your last number should be 0: ");
numSum += userInput;
holdNum++;
while (userInput != 0)
{
userInput = scan.nextInt();
}
if (maxVal > Integer.MAX_VALUE)
{
maxVal = userInput;
}
if (minVal < Integer.MIN_VALUE)
{
minVal = userInput;
}
average = ( numSum ) / ( holdNum );
System.out.println( "Average = " + average );
System.out.println( "Max = " + maxVal );
System.out.println( "Minimum = " + minVal );
}
}

You are adding the user input in the sum and incrementing the number of user inputs only when the input is less than the minimum. I would guess you'll want to do it for all inputs instead.
