Wildlife Monitoring systems need to identify the total count of specific endangered bird species observed over a recording period.
The data from the database table bird_sightings is imported into a program written in a high-level programming language.
The program stores the data in a two-dimensional (2D) string array with the identifier sightingData.
The data to be stored is shown in the table below:
| Date | SightingID | Species | Count |
|---|---|---|---|
| 22/10/2025 | S01 | Osprey | 3 |
| 22/10/2025 | S02 | Red Kite | 5 |
| 23/10/2025 | S03 | Golden Eagle | 1 |
| 23/10/2025 | S04 | Osprey | 2 |
| 24/10/2025 | S05 | Red Kite | 4 |
| 24/10/2025 | S06 | Golden Eagle | 2 |
| 24/10/2025 | S07 | Osprey | 6 |
| 24/10/2025 | S08 | Red Kite | 1 |
In this table, the value of sightingData[1, 1] contains "S02".
