/* Program to search through an array spanning a linked list of
variable-sized blocks for all entries with a specified ID number
and return the average of the values of all such entries. Each of
the variable-sized blocks may contain any number of data entries,
stored in the form of two separate arrays, one for ID numbers and
one for values.
