Just a thought on Codeprojec scroes
-
Hi Guys, Just stuck with something here in code project. This was a thread in the ASP.Net threads that was answerd by user ChrisKo http://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/View.aspx?fid=12076&msg=2451635[^] It was Voted 5 by the person who posted the question. I too thought it was a good answer and Voted 5. Now his Score has to be 5x2 ie 10 right ? How ever it is telling the score as 5 ie (5+5)/2. May be i am too tired after a hard time with my boss that i an not able to find the reason..Please help :confused:

Welcome, Laddie. Score is a weighted average. May be i am too tired after a hard time with my work, but I don't see the problem with that.

I understand that is average score. But my question is about the logic behind it. Ie if your team get two goals your team scrore is 1 x 2 ie two goals right and not (1+1)/2 ie one goal. Because if one user votes 5 or two user votes 5 the score is still 5 here. That is my confusion

Hi, if your article or message is very good, it may get a 5 vote from some reader. If another reader also finds it perfect, he can cast another 5 vote, but that does not improve the quality of your article/message, so the overall appreciation is and should still be 5. What it does give you is better protection against the next reader who might vote a lower number though: 5+5+1 would yield 3.67 whereas 5+1 would yield 3.00 assuming all votes have the same weight (which they don't, all those highly regarded gold and platinum members over here carry more weight and so they cast a stronger vote...) :)

Well... I suppose the idea about an average score is that if we added up all the scores then an article that had five votes each scoring one would be rated a five. If there was one vote rating it a five then it would be a five. In the end, the score would be more indicative of how many people voted, rather than the opinion of the voters...

You really need some sleep. What part of average rating out of 5 is hard for you to understand?
