<font face="serif">Class -- I just want to put this little reminder
out there -- you are supposed to use the Scanner class to ask for
user input in your Forecast program. </font>For those of you
that missed class on the day we played with the scanner, the
example uses in class in the courses folder:<br>

I bring this up because as I have been working with many of you on
your programs I have noticed that you have the x1, y1, etc., values
"hard coded" in your programs and that you don't use the Scanner.
You must remember that I am going to be running your codes with my
own set of data. "Hard coding" values is fine for testing and
getting the output to look right, but you definitely need to test
and run with the Scanner before submitting the assignments for
grading next week.<br>
