Sorted List of 1994 Gas Prices
Note: This assignment can be done either as an enhancement to the program that you wrote for
In the student sample programs for this book, you will find a text file named 1994_Weekly_Gas_Averages.txt. The file contains the average gas price for each week in the year 1994, (There are 52 lines in the file. Line 1 contains the average price for week 1, line 2 contains the average price for week 2, and so forth.) Write a program that reads the gas prices from the file, and calculates the average gas price for each month. (To get the average price for a given month, calculate the average of the average weekly prices for that month.) Then, the program should create another file that lists the names of the months, along with each month’s average gas price, sorted from lowest to highest.

Chapter 7 - Programming Challenge 15
15. World Series Champions If you have downloaded this book’s source code (the companion Web site is available at www.pearsonhighered.com/gaddis), you will find a file named WorldSeriesWinners.txt. This file contains a chronological list of the winning teams in the World Series from 1903 through 2009. (The first line in the file is the name of the team that won in 1903, and the last line is the name of the team that won in 2009. Note that the World Series was not played in 1904 or 1994, so those years are skipped in the file.) Write a program that lets the user enter the name of a team, and then displays the number of times that team has won the World Series in the time period from 1903 through 2009.
Tip: Read the contents of the WorldSeriesWinners.txt file into an ArrayList. When the user enters the name of a team, the program should step through the ArrayList, counting the number of times the selected team appears

Container Number order or Ship Name order. The program will also the user to lookup the data for any given Container
by number. The % cargo weight is the percentage of the cargo of the gross weight (cargo weight/gross weight), % total
is the percentage of the cargo for that container of the total amount of cargo unloaded (cargo weight for the container /
total cargo unloaded. Hint: you are expected to use methods for your calculations.
The accompanying file has the data for the containers unloaded today. The data includes

- C++HurdleWords The HurdleWords class is mostly provided to you. HurdleWords is constructed from two files in the data/ folder: ● valid_guesses.txt (all 5 letter guesses considered to be valid words to guess), and ● valid_hurdles.txt (all words that may be selected to be the secret Hurdle.) ● Note: you may edit both text files if you’d like to add custom words to your game. HurdleWords stores all potential valid Hurdles from valid_hurdles.txt into a vector of strings (valid_hurdles_), and all valid guesses from valid_guesses.txt into an unordered set of strings (valid_guesses_). A set is simply a data structure that contains no duplicates and allows for a speedy lookup to check if a given element exists within the set. Because there are over 10,000 valid guesses, we store them in an unordered set to leverage their speediness, as you will need to check if a user-submitted guess is considered valid (i.e. their guess is considered a valid guess in the dictionary).
