Flow Chart for Coding
In this project, we written a program to calculate the Air Quality Index of Fargo area. We build a huge database of the historic air quality of Fargo which include the concentration of particle pollution, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and ozone. We also created the separate code for each different air pollution, and an overall code to get the Air Quality index.
In this project, because one of my group member has some situation and doesn't has a lot time to work on it. So, I made 90% of the Code.
According to the flow chart, my idea of the code is to find the concentration of each different type of pollution, then put the concentration to the air quality calculation formula. Since we get the AQI of each pollution, the pollution with height AQI will be the Dominate Pollution. Different AQI corresponds to air quality conditions.
When the user run the program, they just need to input the month and date, they will get the AQI for that day.
If we can get the real time concentration of the pollution, this program could calculate the real time AQI and tell them if the air quality is good or not.
The output also include the graph of the Concentration and AQI, and location the day that you searched.
