Check the file ID to determine if the file is available.
Only print message if file is not available.
Use nested for loops to read one water level value at a time into the lake_powell matrix.
lake_powell(month,year) = fscanf(fileID, '%f', 1);.
Use mean to determine the average elevation of the water level for each year and the overall average for the four-year period over which the data were collected. Print the yearly average vector and the overall average with labels as shown below.
%*****CONSTANT*****
fileID= fopen('lake_powell.txt');
lake_powell = fscanf(fileID, '%f', 1);
if exist('lake_powell.txt', 'file')
% File exists. Do stuff....
%*****INPUT*****
% read data file
years = ( 2013:1:2016 );
fprintf('\nLake Powell Water Levels (in feet)\n');
% if file doesn't exist
if exist('lake_powell.txt', 'file')
% File exists. Do stuff....
% print title and year column headings.
for i=1:length(years)
fprintf('%6.0d\t', years(i));
end
% print contents of lake_powell
for i=1:size(lake_powell,1)
fprintf('\n')
for j=1:size(lake_powell,2)
fprintf('%.2f\t',lake_powell(i,j));
end
end
fprintf('\n');
% PART B: use mean to determine average elevation
fprintf('\n');
mean_each_year = mean(lake_powell,1);
fprintf('\n Average for Each Year (in feet)\n');
for i=1:length(years)
fprintf('%9.0d',years(i));
fprintf('\n');
for i=1:length(mean_each_year)
fprintf('%10.2f',mean_each_year(i));
end
end
overall_mean= mean(mean_each_year);
fprintf('\n Overall average:%10.2f feet',overall_mean);
else
disp('File not found');
end
else
disp('File not found');
end
I'm supposed to have an output of
Average for Each Year (in feet)
2013 2014 2015 2016
3579.90 3585.70 3600.78 3602.36
Overall average: 3592.18 feet
but im getting
Average for Each Year (in feet)
2013
3594.38 2014
3594.38 2015
3594.38 2016
3594.38
Overall average: 3594.38 feet
