Here is the problem:

1. Given an array of student grades, write an algorithm using the pseudocode from the book to
determine the highest grade, lowest grade and average grade. (You may be able to write this as
one algorithm or as three algorithms.)
2. A park ranger has been keeping track of the deer population in a national park. Her theory is
that the springtime deer population depends on the lowest temperature from the preceeding
winter according to the following:
Temperature of 0oF or colder: deer population drops by 12%
Temperature higher than 0oF: deer population increases by 15%
Assuming the deer population starts at 1000 and assuming you have available a function called
“getLowestTemperature” to get the lowest winter temperature, write an algorithm, using the
pseudocode from the book, to determine the deer population each spring for 15 consecutive
years.

Your question reeks of homework. But here's the answer to the first question.

public void printGradeInfo(int[] grades)
{

double min = max = averageSum = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < grades.length; i++)
{

if (min > grades[i])
{

min = grades[i]

}
if (max < grades[i])
{

max = grades[i]

}
averageSum += grades[i]

}
Console.WriteLine(min);
Console.WriteLine(max);
Console.WriteLine(averageSum/grades.length);

}

Don't you need to initialise min to a high value rather than zero?

Woops...you're right. It should be 4.0 or something.
