Analysis of Environment Canada Data Records
Often in industry it is common to write programs to analyze large data files that are created as a result of capturing data from the field (e.g. SCADA applications). This assignment is consistent with that industry pattern.
Environment Canada keeps daily records for all major cities in Canada. This data includes: date, maximum temperature and minimum temperature.
Write a Java program to generate a meteorology report for a city for a specific year. The following is a sample run, user input is shown in bold underline.
Use arrays to keep track of the ranges (min, max) and # of days within each range. By using arrays for the ranges it will be easier to change the ranges in the future.
Enter data filename: h:/temp/calgary2016.txt
Temperature report for Calgary for 2016
Hottest day was (mm/dd/yyyy) 6/6/2016, high temperature was 30.9
Coldest day was (mm/dd/yyyy) 12/8/2016, low temperature was -26.7

Run the program for both the Calgary and Edmonton datafiles. You will find the data files for Calgary and Edmonton in D2L.
