Homework

  1. A weather station measures wind direction once per minute. Write a program to indicate the average direction over a five minute period. Try it on the following sets of readings:
    • 12°, 15°, 13°, 9°, 16°
    • 358°, 1°, 359°, 355°, 2°
    • 210°, 290°, 10°, 90°, 170°
  2. Modify your program to handle wind speed input in addition to direction.
