calculating average without using the mean function

I am trying to calculating the average of a number set.
This is what i have done so far but it is not running smoothly
function [A] = average(X);
%this program calculates the average of a given number set
%enter the numbers either in a column or in a row; i.e use either a column
%vector or a row vector
[A] = Sum(X)/length(X)
%this will give the sum of the number set

Try using sum() instead of Sum(). MATLAB is case sensitive.
