In this chapter, sequences (arrays) of values, enumeration types, weather data, and board games are discussed.

Arrays

“If you don’t like the weather in these parts,” the old-timer said with a twinkle in his eye, “wait a few minutes.”

Let’s find out if he’s right: we’ll take 10 temperatures at 1-minute intervals and see the variation. I’ll start like this:

double temp1; sout << "Enter a temperature: "; sin >> temp1;

double temp2; sout << "Enter a temperature: "; sin >> temp2;

double temp3; sout << "Enter a temperature: "; sin >> temp3;

That’s getting old fast. Maybe there’s a better way to store 10 numbers. ...
