Average Steps Taken

A Personal Fitness Tracker is a wearable device that tracks your physical activity, calories burned, heart rate, sleeping patterns, and so forth. One common physical activity that most of these devices track is the number of steps you take each day.

Assume that you have a file that contains the number of steps a person has taken each day for a year. The data is stored in the file as records. Each record contains the number of steps taken on a specific date. Each record contains the following fields:

• The month, stored as an integer. January = 1, February = 2, etc.
• The day of the month, stored as an integer.
• The year, stored as an integer.
• The number of steps taken on the specified date, stored as an integer.

Furthermore, the records are stored in order of the date. For example, the first record in the file is for January 1st, and the last record in the file is for December 31st. Design a program that reads the file, and displays the average number of steps taken for each month.
