Using FilesTotal and Average Rainfall

Write a program that reads in from a le a starting month name, an ending month name, and then the monthly rainfall for each month during that period. As it does this, it should sum the rainfall amounts and then report the total rainfall and average rainfall for the period. For example, the output might look like this: During the months of MarchJune the total rainfall was 7.32 inches and the average monthly rainfall was 1.83 inches. Data for the program can be found in the Rainfall.txt le. Hint: After reading in the month names, you will need to read in rain amounts until the EOF is reached, and count how many pieces of rain data you read in.

Using notepad you can create a data file called Rainfall.txt with the following data.

June September 2.35 1.15 2.03 1.41
