Description

Lab 2 is to re-create Lab 1 into two classes. One of them will be the main app that takes input from the user, and it will call another class to a generate random temperature value. The main app should catch improper inputs such as letters or numbers that are not on the menu. Rest of the program should be the same as Lab 1 that simulate a series of random temperature. After each simulation, the program should list the following: First, Last , Lowest , Highest, The Total sum of all temperatures generated, and the Average for the season.
