Algorithms-And-Complexity

This assignment asks you to design and implement a Search and Sort application. In particular, you are to create a Console Application, which will help with the analysis of Weather Data. This assignment has mandatory (1-4) and additional (5-9 and a couple more) tasks, which will allow you to achieve higher marks. A set of files is provided: “Year.txt”, “Month.txt”, “WS1_TMax.txt”, “WS1_TMin.txt”, “WS1_AF.txt”, “WS1_Rain.txt”, “WS1_Sun.txt”, “WS2_TMax.txt”, “WS2_TMin.txt”, “WS2_AF.txt”, “WS2_Rain.txt” and “WS2_Sun.txt”. The files correspond to real averaged climate data of two Weather Stations WS1 (Lerwick), and WS2 (Ross on Wye) taken from the Met Office Historical Data web site. The “WS*_TMax.txt”, “WS*_TMin.txt”, “WS*_AF.txt”, “WS*_Rain.txt” and “WS*_Sun.txt”, correspond to the Mean Daily Temperature Maximum (in C), Mean Daily Temperature Minimum (in C), Days of Air Frost, Total Rainfall (in mm) and Total Sunshine duration (in hours), respectively. The values of all the files are currently sorted in ascended order (i.e. oldest to newest) in respect to the content of the Year and Month files. Initially, read the files “Year.txt”, “Month.txt”, “WS1_TMax.txt”, “WS1_TMin.txt”, “WS1_AF.txt”, “WS1_Rain.txt” and “WS1_Sun.txt”. Your Console Application should be able to provide the following functionality to the user:

1. Select which individual Array or String Array is to be analysed.
2. Sort in ascending or descending order and display the selected Array or String Array.
3. Search according to the content of the Year, and display ALL the corresponding values of Year, Month, WS1_TMax, WS1_TMin, WS1_AF, WS1_Rain and WS1_Sun. If the value of the Year does not exist then provide an error message.
4. Search according to the content of the Month, and display ALL the corresponding values of Year, Month, WS1_TMax, WS1_TMin, WS1_AF, WS1_Rain and WS1_Sun. If the value of the Month does not exist then provide an error message.
5. When sorting in ascending or descending order the Month file you should display the months as they appear during the calendar year (i.e. in ascending order they should be: January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November and December), not as they appear in alphabetical order (i.e. in ascending order they are: April, August, December, February, January, July, June, March, May, November, October and September).
6. Find the maximum and minimum values of WS1_TMax, WS1_TMin, WS1_AF, WS1_Rain and WS1_Sun. You should then display ALL the corresponding values of Year, Month, WS1_TMax, WS1_TMin, WS1_AF, WS1_Rain and WS1_Sun.
7. Repeat Task 6, but for the median values of WS1_TMax, WS1_TMin, WS1_AF, WS1_Rain and WS1_Sun.
8. Your Console Application should be in position to rearrange and display the content of all the other Arrays and String Arrays in respect to the one that is sorted.
9. For additional marks, your Console Application should be in position to input the files “WS2_TMax.txt”, “WS2_TMin.txt”, “WS2_AF.txt”, “WS2_Rain.txt” and “WS2_Sun.txt”. Then Repeat Tasks 1 to 8 and display the corresponding values for both WS1 and WS2.
