Chapter 8, Problem 5PC

Rain or Shine

An amateur meteorologist wants to keep track of weather conditions during the past year’s three -month summer season and has designated each day as either rainy (‘R’), cloudy (‘C’), or sunny (‘S’). Write a modular program that stores this information in a 3 × 30 array of characters, where the row indicates the month (0 = June, 1 = July, 2 = August) and the column indicates the day of the month. Note that data is not being collected for the 31st of any month. The program should begin by calling a function to read the weather data in from a file. Then it should create a report that displays for each month and for the whole three-month period, how many days were rainy, how many were cloudy, and how many were sunny. To help it do this, it should use a value -returning function that is passed the array, the number of the month to examine, and the character to look for (‘R’, ‘C’, or ‘S’). This function should return the number of days the indicated month had the requested weather. Data for the program can be found in the RainOrShine. dat file located in the Chapter 8 programs folder on this book’s companion website.
