Thread: Hurricane java Code

I'm taking a really vague online computer science course, and am very confused on the following assignment. The lessons are only a few pages long and do not fully explain the topic completely.

This is the assignment:
Write a program to calculate the average category, pressure, and wind speed of all Atlantic Hurricanes that have occurred from 1980 - 2006. Also tally the number of storms in each category.
I'm really confused, the following is the starter code given to me.

import java.util.Scanner;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
 
public class Hurricanes2
{
    public static void main(String[] args)throws IOException
    {
    	//declare and initialize variables
 
 
		int arrayLength = 59;
        int [] year = new int[arrayLength];
        String [] month = new String[arrayLength];
 
 
 
        File fileName = new File("hurcdata2.txt");
        Scanner inFile = new Scanner(fileName);
 
        //INPUT  - read data in from the file
        int index = 0;
        while (inFile.hasNext())
        {
            year[index] = inFile.nextInt();
            month[index] = inFile.next();
            index++;
        }
        inFile.close();
 
 
		//PROCESSING - calculate and convert values
		// convert windspeed from knots to MPH
		// determine category
		// count number of each category
 
 
        //Find min, max and average for category, windspeed and pressure
 
 
 
        //Output - print table using printf to format the columns
 
 
        System.out.println("                      Hurricanes 1980 - 2006");
        System.out.println();
        System.out.println("Year     Hurricane    Category     Pressure (mb)     Wind Speed (mph)");
        System.out.println("=====================================================================");
 
 
 
        System.out.println("=====================================================================");
 
 
 
    }//end main()
}//end Hurricanes2

You need to ask a specific question. You have posted the assignment, the code and the data set. From that I can only assume that you are hoping someone to do the work for you.
