/* this program keeps track of batting statistics for baseball,
it reads the nameof the batter,the overall numberof hits, at-bats,
and homeruns. it willreadthe numbers for all of these in a loop, then
it will stop at -1 hits. the output will be the batter's name,
the totals for all 3, and the computed batting average shown to 3
decimal places.
