Question

I've been set the task of creating a basic earthquake monitoring program.

The classes for the program are:

Earthquake: store and retrieve data on magnitude, position (latitude & longitude) and year.

Observatory: store and retrieve data on name of observatory, country in which it's located, year in which observations began, area covered by observatory (in sq/kms) and list of earthquakes recorded by it.

Includes methods to return: the largest magnitude earthquake recorded by the observatory, the average earthquake magnitude recorded by the observatory, a list of all methods recorded by the observatory with a magnitude greater than a given number.

Monitoring: Holds information about all observatories. Includes methods to return: the observatory with the largest average magnitude, the largest magnitude earthquake ever recorded, a list of all earthquakes recorded with a magnitude greater than a given number

Any help would be hugely appreciated.
