Lab 2

Annual Rainfall

Input

This lab uses 10 years of monthly rainfall data: the rainfall totals from New Brunwick from January 2013 through December 2022. You can find a float array with the rainfall amounts (120 entries) in the lab2 folder in Files on Canvas.

The average annual rainfall in New Brunswick is 49.5 inches.

Processing

• create a float array that contains the yearly rainfall in inches
• create a float array that contains the yearly rainfall in centimeters
• print the year and the rainfall total for the year with the lowest rainfall
• print the year and the rainfall total for the year with the highest rainfall
• print the number of years with below average rainfall
• print the number of years with above average rainfall

Output

Print a table with year, rainfall in inches, and rainfall in centimeters. Your table should have a heading, such as:

year       rain (inches)      rain (cm)
2013        xxxxxx              xxxxxx
2014        xxxxxx              xxxxxx
              etc

After the table, print the summary information, with labels:

xxxx: lowest annual rainfall of xx.xx inches
xxxx: highest annual rainfall of xx.xx inches
number of years with below average rainfall: xx
number of years with above average rainfall: xx

Notes

• There is no way to tell the syscall how many places to print after the decimal point. I understand if this bothers you, but you have to live with it.
• Remember your comments should reflect the purpose of the statements. Write comments like "$f6 is rain in cm" not comments like "$f6 = $f4 * $f2".
• Don't be stubborn and wait to put in your comments till the end. It will be a lot easier if you do. Remember it's very important to comment your register usage.
