ASSESSMENT DESCRIPTION:
This assignment is an extension of The South Pacific Hotel (snowfall) program. You will be
given the snowfall data (4 sites, 5 years) in a file and some code to read it from file. You will
then need to store the data in a 2D a
ay, then get the next years data as input (year 6) and
e able to calculate averages (as before), in addition you will need to be able to add data for
a new site (site 5), add a sort ​or a search function (e.g. sort by total, by average, search for
smallest or biggest) and save data (5 sites, 6 years) to a different file (​not​ snowfall.dat).

Your program must not crash.​ You have several options to prevent crashes:
a) use try/catch
) use regex (regular expressions)
c) use both

Design & Test & User Documentation:
Submit a Word document (3 pages) containing the following:
1. Your program design, you can use flowchart, IPO, pseudocode (not code).
2. Your test data and expected results (this means do the maths on paper first)
and a test report. You should have at least three test cases
3. A user guide, include any assumptions you make (e.g. max snowfall), any
e
ors
ugs, any suggestions for future improvements

ASSESSMENT SUBMISSION:
Week 12. When submitting your assignment, you must meet the following criteria:
● Ensure all required files are submitted (.java, .class, documentation, and
snowfall.dat).
● Ensure required files are submitted in the requested format ​(a .zip file with your
name and ID).
● Ensure assignment is submitted to the proper submission link.
● Assignment must be submitted by the date specified in the moodle.

MARKING GUIDE:
There’s a total of 30 marks available

Requirements Marks
Design + testing + user documentation 6 marks
Code​:
