Question 24 – Programming concepts - Questions

Write a VB.Net program to check if a marine temperature logging system has a sequence of five consecutive integer degree Celsius readings (increasing by exactly 1 degree each time) within its list of 150 recorded measurements.

When writing your program you should assume:

there is an array called tempLogs that contains the 150 integer temperature measurements
tempLogs(0) contains the first value and tempLogs(149) contains the last value
the values in tempLogs are already stored in ascending numerical order
there is a Boolean variable called streakDetected that has an initial value of False.

Your program should set streakDetected to True if there is a valid run of five consecutive integers (for example: 12, 13, 14, 15, 16).

You should use meaningful variable name(s) and VB.Net syntax in your answer.
