Explanation:
The code provided worked for the most part, it had some gramatical errors in when printing out the information as well as repeated values. I fixed and reorganized the printed information so that it is well formatted. The only thing that was missing from the code was the input validation to make sure that no negative values were passed. I added this within the getMonths() method so that it repeats the question until the user inputs a valid value. The program was tested and the output can be seen in the attached image below.
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
class Rainfall
{
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
private int month = 12;
private double total = 0;
private double average;
private double standard_deviation;
private double largest;
private double smallest;
private double months[];
public Rainfall()
{
months = new double[12];
}
public void setMonths()
{
for(int n=1; n <= month; n++)
{
int answer = 0;
while (true) {
System.out.println("Enter the rainfall (in inches) for month #" + n + ":" );
answer = in.nextInt();
if (answer > 0) {
months[n-1] = answer;
break;
}
}
}
}
public void getTotal()
{
total = 0;
for(int i = 0; i < 12; i++)
{
total = total + months[i];
}
System.out.println("The total rainfall for the year is " + total);
}
public void getAverage()
{
average = total/12;
System.out.println("The average monthly rainfall is " + average);
}
public void getLargest()
{
double largest = 0;
int largeind = 0;
for(int i = 0; i < 12; i++)
{
if (months[i] > largest)
{
largest = months[i];
largeind = i;
}
}
System.out.println("The largest amount of rainfall was " + largest +
" inches in month " + (largeind + 1));
}
public void getSmallest()
{
double smallest = Double.MAX_VALUE;
int smallind = 0;
for(int n = 0; n < month; n++)
{
if (months[n] < smallest)
{
smallest = months[n];
smallind = n;
}
}
System.out.println("The smallest amount of rainfall was " + smallest +
" inches in month " + (smallind + 1));
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Rainfall r = new Rainfall();
r.setMonths();
r.getTotal();
r.getSmallest();
r.getLargest();
r.getAverage();
}
}
