Solution 1

Use String.Format.

For example :
Console.WriteLine(String.Format(”{0:(###) ###-####}”, 8005551212));

This will output
(800) 555-1212

When specifying a format for numbers the # sign means "Show number if its present" whereas a 0 character means "show the caracter always, including if its zero".

So I thin you want something like:

Console.WriteLine(" ###.0# ", avg);

Which will show one decimal place always, and any additional decimal places if they are present.
