Question

Write a program using the random number generator to create random rainfall measurements and save these numbers in a text file. You will have more than 12 readings to cover more than 1 year of measurements. You may assume that we do not have more than 5 inches of rain in a month.

Your program will work with a text file of any number of months (you do not know how many readings are contained in the input file). Using the input data file, you will report the average amount of rain each year. You also need to consider if your input file contains incomplete full year data. For example, if there are 15 month readings, you should report the average rainfall in the first year, and the average of the last 3 months of the second year.

Your output should be clear and presentable

import random
#open the file in write mode
f = open("rainfall.txt", "w")
#save 15 numbers in it
for i in range(15):
   #create a random number between 0 to 5
   temp = round(random.random() * 5, 2)
   #store it in the file
   f.write(str(temp) + "\n")
#close the file
f.close()
#opent the file in read mode
f = open("rainfall.txt", "r")
#read the lines in file
lines = f.readlines()
#declare all the variables
months = 0
years = 0
average = 0
#iterate over the lines
for line in lines:
   #read the rainfall
   rain = float(line.strip("\n"))
   #add it to average
   average += rain
   months += 1
   if(months == 12):
       #if there are 12 months recored calculate the average
       average = round(average/12, 2)
       #increment years
       years += 1
       #display the average
       print("The average rainfall of " + str(years) + " year is " + str(average))
       #make months as 0
       months = 0
       #make the average as 0
       average = 0
#finally if there is any year which is not completed
if(months != 0):
   #calculate the average upto the months that read
   average = round(average/months, 2)
   #display the output
   print("The average rainfall of first " + str(months) + " months of " + str(years + 1) + " year is " + str(average))
