When you are done with this assignment, please submit it using the Homework Submission Program.
The data file data.txt consists of lines of the form
Number Number Number Name
For example,
194 97 164 Mary
Maybe they're bowling scores, maybe they're test scores, maybe they're blood test results. Let the numbers mean whatever you want them to mean.
Your task is to write a program that will read each line from the file, and compute the maximum (largest), the minimum (smallest), and the average of the three numbers. So, when you compile the program and run it like this:
theProgram < data
your program should produce an easy-to-read table that looks something like this:
Name Max Min Avg ------------------------------ Mary 194 97 136.33 Bill 182 84 147.67 etc.
Your code should have a modular organization. For example, the retrieval of the input, the reporting of the results, and the computing of the minimum, maximum, and average are five conceptually separate activities, and as such could be placed in five different functions or procedures. (To be fair, the retrieval of the input in this case will consist of a single readln statement, so you don't need to put that in a procedure.)
Your variables should be appropriately named. For example, you might have cause for a variable named average, which is to be preferred to avg, which in turn is preferable to a. Sometimes you get a conflict between names. For example, in this program I would like a variable named average and a function named average. I might resolve this conflict by calling the function average and the variable avg.
Make sure to include a comment at the top of your program giving your name, the date, and a brief description of what your program does.
Start work soon. Keep in touch.
Have fun.
