There are three versions of this project.

Version 1 (all interactive). Write a program that reads in the average monthly rainfall for a city for each month of the year and then reads in the actual monthly rainfall for each of the previous 12 months. The program then prints out a nicely formatted table showing the rainfall for each of the previous 12 months as well as how much above or below average the rainfall was for each month. The average monthly rainfall is given for the months January, February, and so forth, in order. To obtain the actual rainfall for the previous 12 months, the program first asks what the current month is and then asks for the rainfall figures for the previous 12 months

The output should correctly label the months.

There are a variety of ways to deal with the month names. One straightforward method is to code the months as integers and then do a conversion before doing the output. A large switch statement is acceptable in an output function. The month input can be handled in any manner you wish, as long as it is relatively easy and pleasant for the user.

After you have completed this program, produce an enhanced version that also outputs a graph showing the average rainfall and the actual rainfall for each of the previous 12 months. The graph should be similar to the one shown in Display 7.8, except that there should be two bar graphs for each month and they should be labeled as the average rainfall and the rainfall for the most recent month. Your program should ask the user whether she or he wants to see the table or the bar graph and then should display whichever format is requested. Include a loop that allows the user to see either format as often as the user wishes until the user requests that the program end.

Version 2 (combines interactive and file output). For a more elaborate version, also allow the user to request that the table and graph be output to a file. The file name is entered by the user. This program does everything that the Version 1 program does but has this added feature. To read a file name, you must use material presented in the optional section of Chapter 5 entitled “File Names as Input.”

Version 3 (all I/O with files). This version is like Version 1 except that input is taken from a file and the output is sent to a file. Since there is no user to interact with, there is no loop to allow repeating the display; both the table and the graph are output to the same file. If this is a class assignment, ask your instructor for instructions on what file names to use.
