Exercise Week 12

The document describes two in-class exercises. The first involves reading environmental data from a CSV file, processing the data by counting poor air quality days and calculating average CO2 levels, and writing the results to a file. The second exercise involves implementing a generic Statistics class template to calculate statistical measures like mean, median, and standard deviation for different numeric data types.

This document consists of one in-class exercise that will be solved during
the exercise sessions in class.

In-class Exercise: Urban Environmental Data


Analysis
In this exercise, you will work with data from an urban environmental mon-
itoring system. Your task is to read the data from a CSV file, process it
according to specific criteria, and write the results to new files.

Exercise 1: Reading CSV Data


We will begin by creating a function to read data from a CSV file named
environment data.csv, which contains various environmental parameters
recorded in an urban area.

Tasks
1. Implement a structure EnvironmentalData to store the data from each
row of the CSV file.

2. Create a function std::vector<EnvironmentalData> readCSV(const std


::string& filename) to read data from the CSV file and return a vector
of EnvironmentalData.

1
Exercise 2: Data Processing
Now, use the data read from the CSV file to perform specific analysis tasks.

Tasks
1. Implement a function int countPoorAirQuality(const std::vector<
EnvironmentalData>& data) to count the number of entries with ”Poor”
air quality.
2. Create a function double averageCO2CentralPark(const std::vector
<EnvironmentalData>& data) to compute the average CO2 level for the
Central Park location.
3. Write a function std::vector<std::string> highWindDays(const std
::vector<EnvironmentalData>& data) that lists all dates where the
wind speed was greater than 15 km/h.

Exercise 3: Writing Results to a File


Finally, write the results of your data analysis to a file.

Tasks
1. Implement a function void writeResultsToFile(const std::string&
filename, const std::vector<EnvironmentalData>& data) to write the
analysis results to a file named environment analysis results.txt.
2. The file should include the count of poor air quality days, the average
CO2 level in Central Park, and a list of high wind speed days.

Exercise 4: Main Function


Implement a main function to demonstrate the complete functionality.

Tasks
1. Read data from environment data.csv.
2. Perform the analysis using the implemented functions.
3. Write the results to environment analysis results.txt.

In-class Exercise: Implementing a Generic Statis-
tics Class
In this exercise, you will implement a generic class for calculating statistical
measures on numeric data sets. The class will demonstrate the power and
flexibility of templates in C++.

Exercise 1: Designing the Statistics Class Template


Create a Statistics template class that can compute statistical measures
for different types of numeric data.

Tasks
1. Define a template class Statistics with a single template parameter T
for the numeric data type.

2. Include a private member std::vector<T> data to store the numeric


data.

3. Implement a public method void addData(T value) to add data to the


class.

4. Add public methods T mean(), T median(), and T standardDeviation


() to compute the respective statistical measures.

Exercise 2: Testing the Statistics Class


Demonstrate the functionality of the Statistics class using different numeric
data types.

Tasks
1. In the main function, create an instance of Statistics<double> and
add several double values to it.

2. Calculate and display the mean, median, and standard deviation of the
added values.

3
3. Repeat the process for other numeric types like int or float to demon-
strate the class’s versatility.
