Part C (Analyze) 1 x 20=20
C1. Hurricanes are tropical storms with very strong winds and heavy rains. The
Saffir–Simpson scale defines categories of hurricane intensity based on the
wind speed. If the storm’s winds are between 38 and 74 miles per hour, it called
a tropical storm; if the winds exceed 74 miles per hour, the storm is a tropical
cyclone, or hurricane.

Category Wind speed Storm Surge Damage level


1 74 - 95 mph 4 – 5 feet Minimal damage - 1
2 96-110 mph 6-8 feet Moderate 2
3 111 – 130 mph 9 – 12 feet Extensive damage - 3
4 131 – 155 mph 13 – 18 feet Extreme damage - 4
5 >155 mph >18 feet catastrophic damage - 5

2. Write a function to display the generated records.
3. Write a function to print the number of hurricanes in each category.
4. Write a function to print information about the hurricanes that caused
catastrophic damage.
(OR)
C2. A company keeps a file of their employees in which each record has
information about employee code, name of the employee, date of joining
