Question

Write a Python program that allows the user to enter the total rainfall for each of 12 months into a list. The program should calculate and display the total rainfall for the year, the average monthly rainfall, and the months with the highest and lowest rainfall amounts.

Data:

January: 8.9 inches

February: 11.1 inches

March: 13.4 inches

April: 6.9 inches

May: 8.7 inches

June: 9.1 inches

July: 15.9 inches

August: 4.4 inches

September: 3.1 inches

October: 5.6 inches

November: 7.8 inches

December: 8.1 inches

Answer 1

arr = [ 'January', 'February', 'March', 'April', 'May', 'June', 'July', 'August', 'September', 'October', 'November', 'December' ]

# store the rainfall

rainfall = [ 0 ] * 12

print('Enter the amount of rainfall for ...\n')

for i in range( 0, len( arr ) ):

    x = float(input( arr[i] + ' : ' ))

   

    rainfall[i] = x

   

sum = 0

# calculate total rainfall

for x in rainfall:

    sum += x

   

# calculate average rainfall

average = sum / len(rainfall)

lowest_month = 'January'

lowest = rainfall[0]

highest_month = 'January'

highest = rainfall[0]

for i in range(0, len(rainfall)):

    if rainfall[i] > highest:

   

        highest = rainfall[i]

        highest_month = arr[i]

       

    if rainfall[i] < lowest:

   

        lowest = rainfall[i]

        lowest_month = arr[i]

       

print('\nTotal Rainfall :', sum)

print('\nAverage Rainfall :', average)

print('Maximum Rainflas in month :', highest_month)

print('Mimimum Rainflas in month :', lowest_month)
