In Problem 1 of Homework 11, the user is asked to enter the name of a file, and then the program outputs statistics about the data stored in the file. In this exam problem, the user may enter the name of '''several files''', one after the other. There is no limit on the number of files the user enters. The exam program then outputs the coldest temperature recorded over all the cities specified, followed by groups of city name, month, and year when it was recorded. For example, if the user specifies two files, and the coldest temperature in the first file is -4.2, and the coldest in the second file is -5.7, then the program only output -5.7, along with the name of the city associated with the second file, along with the month and year when -5.7 was recorded. If -5.7 is found several times in the tmin column of the file, then all occurrences are reported (see Example section below). |
