Batting Average

Introduction to Batting Average

Batting average in baseball is calculated by dividing the total number of hits by the total number of at-bats. In this formula, H represents the number of hits and AB represents the number of at-bats. The result represents the player's success in making hits during official at-bats. Batting average is typically represented to three decimal places, e.g., .314.

Parameter usage:

• hits = number of hits
• atBats = number of at-bats

Example valid values:

• hits = 113
• atBats = 357

Output:

• Batting Average = batting average of the player

Data validation

The number of at-bats should be greater than 0.
