Apex Heating Systems need to identify the total duration in minutes that the heating zones have been active on a specific date.

The data from the database table heating_log 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 logData.

The data to be stored is shown in the table below:

Date	ZoneID	ZoneType	Duration
12/11/2024	ZH1	Hall	45
12/11/2024	ZK2	Kitchen	15
13/11/2024	ZB1	Bedroom	60
13/11/2024	ZH1	Hall	30
14/11/2024	ZK1	Kitchen	20
14/11/2024	ZB2	Bedroom	45
14/11/2024	ZH1	Hall	15

In this table, the value of logData[1, 1] contains "ZK2".

Write a program that:

asks the user to input a date
totals the active duration (in minutes) for the date input
outputs the calculated total in an appropriate message including the date, for example:

The heating was active for 60 minutes on 12/11/2024

You must use either:

OCR Exam Reference Language, or
A high-level programming language that you have studied.
