Lab Description: In this lab, We are tasked with creating a temperature sensor that will generate random numbers that are meant to represent a reasonable range for each respective season. We are also tasked with making sure the program records and displays the first and last temperatures generated, the lowest and highest temperatures generated and the Sum and average for the seasons.

For the first and last temperatures, i used the counter in a for loop to designate the first and last generated temperatures with an if statement. For the lowest and highest temperatures i compared each simulation to the one after it and only increased/decreased the values if they were bigger or smaller depending on what i wanted. For the lowest temperatures, i gave it an initial value of 100 as to not compare to 0 or else i wouldnt get results. The sum was just an addition operator within the for loop, and the average divided by the amount of simulations entered. All of those were in case statements to develop a menu, and all of that was inside a while loop so that the user can choose to run the program over if they wished.
