Write a program that will calculate the average rainfall and wind speed for a single day using weather data downloaded from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology. The data file can be downloaded from [login to view URL] Select any single town, e.g. Ballina and scroll to the bottom of the page and click the link that states "Comma delimited format used in spreadsheet applications" This file should be saved to the bin/debug folder. You may choose any location and date to download, e.g. Ballina and 23rd January. Specifications: I would like a program written and designed in a VB Windows application using Visual Studio 2013 to display data and to extract average wind speed and rainfall from a downloaded data file. This program must: • use a common dialog control for loading and saving data; • have at least one general procedure; • must demonstrate the use of an array; • must use at least one try catch; • must use the data file as downloaded from the Internet. Do not modify the data in the data file before using it in the application; • This program must display the data in the file; • This program must display the average wind speed and the average rainfall; • This program must save the modified data (see step 4 below) to a new file. Advice and hints that were given to me: I suggest that you develop your application using the following steps: 1) Write the code to open the file and copy the ‘raw’ data from the file into a ListBox. 2) Write the code to save the data in the ListBox to a new file. 3) Write the code to remove unwanted data so that you just have the lines of data we are interested in. Keep using the ListBox so that you can know you have got it right. The first item in your ListBox should be something like: 0,94596,"Ballina","IDN60801","23/02:00pm","20150123140000","20150123030000"… You will need to study the raw data file carefully to decide how to remove the unwanted data. I suggest loading it into Word so that you can see how the file is formatted, i.e. where the line breaks are. Click this icon in Word to see the line break character: Show or hide formatting symbols 4) Process each line of data so that each data item is stored in a separate memory location, i.e. you could use variables, an array or an array of structs. Note that in the original data file the first line following [DATA] identifies what each data item is, i.e. You will also need to remove double quotes. One way to do this is to process the string one character at a time skipping over the double quotes and building a new string. At this stage, you should be able to display something like 0,94596,Ballina,IDN60801,23/02:00pm,20150123140000,20150123030000… 5) Now you need to assign the individual data items to variables or to an array. One way is to use the split method. 6) The rainfall data is rain_trace[80] and the wind speed is wind_spd_kmh. Once you have isolated these values it should be reasonably straightforward to calculate the average rainfall and windspeed. Unfortunately, that is all the advice I was given and I could not successfully create the program to the standard that I require. Please let me know if you can help me.
