Follow-up Question

Thank you for your explanation, however, I forgot to mention that I can't use LOOP to accept new &. Instead, I should use 

DECLARE

     TYPE    my_array_type  IS TABLE OF   number INDEX BY PLS_INTEGER;

     v_n_array    my_array_type;

Then in the 'begin and end block' accept new value for each array members

begin

   v_n_array(1):= &n1

   v_n_array(2):=&n2

   ....

Collect all v_n_array members (5 different numbers) and then do calculations like finding the average.

v_avg := …………

Then Display as

DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE (The average number of visitors is: ‘ || v_avg )

END;
