Question

Write a RainFall class that stores the total rainfall for each of 12 months into an array of doubles. The program should have methods that return the following:
the total rainfall for the year
the average monthly rainfall
the month with the most rain
the month with the least rain
Demonstrate the class in a complete program.
Input Validation: Do not accept negative numbers for monthly rainfall figures.
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public 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++)
{
System.out.println("Enter the rainfall (in inches) for month #" + n + ":" );
months[n-1] = in.nextInt();
}
}
public double 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);
return total;
}
public double getAverage()
{
average = total/12;
System.out.println("The average monthly rainfall is" + average);
return average;
}
public double getLargest()
{
double largest = 0;

for(int i = 0; i < 12; i++)
{
if (months[i] > largest)
{
largest = months[i];
largeind = i;
}
}
System.out.println("The largest amout of rainfall was" + largest +
"inches in month" + (largeind + 1));
return largest;
}

Answer:

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.
