Question

Previously , you wrote a program named Hurricane that classified hurricanes into five categories using the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale. Now, create a modified version named Hurricane Modularized that passes a user’s input wind speed to a method that returns the hurricane category.

Answer 1

Answer of the Java class explained below with appropriate comments

Step-by-step explanation:

using System;

class MainClass {

public static void Main (string[] args) {

//entering wind speed of the hurricane

Console.WriteLine ("Enter wind speed in mph: ");

int windSpeed = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());

//checking for the category with the credited wind speed

int category = GetCategory(windSpeed);

Console.WriteLine ("Category: " + category);

}

public static int GetCategory(int wind) {

//function for classifying the wind speeds

if(wind >= 157) {

return 5;

}

if(wind >= 130) {

return 4;

}

if(wind >= 111) {

return 3;

}

if(wind >= 96) {

return 2 ;

}

return 1;

}

}
