Chapter 10 // Exercise 3 - Principles & Practice Using C++

In this exercise I am using Visual Studio Community 2017 and the header file "std_lib_facilities.h" which can be found here:

Chapter 10 // Exercise 3

Write a program that reads the data from raw_temps.txt created in exercise 2 into a vector and then calculates the mean and median temperatures in your data set. Call this program temp_stats.cpp

GitHub: https://github.com/l-paz91/principles-practice/blob/master/Chapter%2010/Exercise%203

I initially had the median messed up when I first uploaded it (as you can see in the file history...I should've done GitHub sooner). I always forget how to code the median.

These programs may seem a little confusing as I bundled them all into one to read/write/create raw_temps.txt based on what you want to do.

This though is officially the first new exercise I've done since September  2019 (and restarting the entire book). It was actually a little scary when I realised that there were no more exercises for me to compare against anymore, everything from here on out is new territory. I will say though that it's been eye opening. I remember spending 6+ hours on one exercise from Chapter 4 when I first started this book back in 2016. Now I can do entire chapters in 1 day.
