Part 1 Your finished flowchart should get an air temperature from the user for each of five days. It should then display

• the average temperature for the five days,
• the highest of the five,
• and the lowest of the five.

To complete, you will need to do the following:

·         Initialize the variable in main that needs to be initialized (you don’t need to initialize the variable that will hold the user’s input). In getHigh, initialize the two variables that need to be initialized.

•  Add a call to the subchart getHighest Test your flowchart and make sure it works.
•  Create a subchart called getLowest, put in the proper steps and call it from main.
• Create a subchart called getTotal, put in the proper steps and call it from main.
• Create a subchart called getAverage and call it from main.
• Create a subchart called displayOutput where you display the required output in a user friendly way.

DISCUSSION :

 After completing the reading this week, please review table 1.2 in the text and review the distinction between leadership and management.  Then think about this in regard to how senior leaders versus senior managers lead change in an organization (especially when it comes to technical change in an organization).

This week please reflect on these concepts and answer the following questions:

1. When implementing change in an organization, there are always culture issues that are faced, such as not accepting change, determine how differently this would be handled thinking about the management versus leadership constructs?
2. When dealing with performing work, how is this implemented differently within the management versus leadership constructs?
