Introduction: The Problem of Calculating Average Rainfall

Many Java developers need to analyze rainfall data, particularly when working with arrays. A common requirement is to compute the average rainfall across different years and display it in a user-friendly format. In this post, we will explore how to calculate the average rainfall for each year using nested for loops in Java, and how to effectively structure your output to meet the desired specifications.

Understanding the Rainfall Data

Let's consider we have rainfall data for three years, stored as arrays. Each array stores the rainfall amounts for each month throughout the year. Our objective is to calculate the average rainfall per year and print the results in a clear format, such as:

The average for year 1 is X.X.

The average for year 2 is Y.Y.

The average for year 3 is Z.Z.

The Solution: Using Nested For Loops

To achieve this, we will create a method to calculate the average rainfall for each year. This method will receive two arguments: the year number and the corresponding array of rainfall data.

Step 1: Prepare the Rainfall Data

First, let's look at how we can structure our data. We will have arrays representing the years and their associated rainfall data:

Step 2: Implementing the Average Function

The average method will calculate the total rainfall for each year and then determine the average by dividing the total by the number of months. Here’s how we can do this:

Step 3: Putting It All Together

Next, we need to call the average method for each year with its corresponding rainfall data:

Output Explanation

By running the above code, you will see the average rainfall printed out for each year in the format:

The average for year 1 is 2.54.

The average for year 2 is 2.46.

The average for year 3 is 3.50.

Conclusion: Mastering Rainfall Calculations

By following this structured approach, we have successfully calculated the average rainfall for multiple years using nested loops in Java. This method not only provides accurate results but also helps in presenting the data in a clear format that is easy to understand.

Feel free to adapt the code for more years or different rainfall data, and you’ll quickly find that working with nested loops in Java opens up a world of possibilities for data manipulation and reporting!
