Question

Here is the following code in C++ I have for variance. I want the output to be 1.25 for the array of elements {3, 4, 1, 2} but instead, I am getting 2.

 

// Calculate Variance

int avg{0};
for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) {
    avg += arr[i];
}
avg = (double) avg / length;

int variance = 0;

for (int i = 0; i < length; i++)
    variance += (arr[i] - avg) * (arr[i] - avg);
return (double) variance / (length - 1);
