Assignment 5: Extracting Information from the Web (Due: Th, Nov 6)

Write a program Degrees.java that prints out the current temperature in Columbus, Ohio. Weather information can be found at http://weather.org/. Information about the weather in Columbus can be found at http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?site=iln&FcstType=text&map.x=244&map.y=98&site=ILN.

Notes.

• If questions in an email of yours refer to a program you wrote, please don’t include the program in the email. Instead, put the program in your WWW directory with an extension .txt added to the file name (e.g., Foo.java.txt), change the access mode of the program to 644, and provide just the file name in the email.
• Submit your source file ‘Degrees.java’ with the ‘submit c214aa lab5 Degrees.java’ command.

Suggestion. Build your program incrementally in the following manner.

1. Provide a program that reads the HTML code of the web page and prints it out.
2. Modify the program to print out just the line of the HTML that contains the desirable data.
3. Modify the program to print out just the temperature value.
