Rainfall Statistics Scenario

A client needs an application that lets him enter the rainfall for each of 12 months. The application should calculate and display the following statistics: total rainfall for the year, the average monthly rainfall, and the months with the highest and lowest amounts of rainfall.

Discussion

In this module you are learning about arrays and the types of loops that are used to process them. If you were to create the application above, how might you utilize arrays and what kind of loop(s) would you use? In your answer, consider the following:

How many arrays and what would it/they be used for?

What data type(s) would your array(s) be? Why?

Procedure-level or class-level? Why?

One-dimensional or two-dimensional? Why?

What type(s) of loop(s) would you use (ForNext, For EachNext, etc.) and why would you choose that type/those types?

Your posting can be as little as a paragraph or two, or it can be longer. However, try to limit yourself to three or four paragraphs. After posting your initial Discussion Board response, reply to as many of your classmates postings as you are able. You can either agree or disagree with your classmates. However, be sure to defend your position (either pro or con) with examples.
