It is not possible to use get() to read in a list of numbers seperated
by spaces, you could allow the user to enter the numbers like a
sequence "{1,2,3,4,5}".

I have attached an example program that allows the user to enter any
amount of numbers seperated by spaces (or commas) then prints the
avarge.
