write a program that simulates the energy use of a house hold based on mainly the geyser's energy consumption. This is the first in a series of assignments improving on the model for this simulation. As a simple model the yearly consumption is based on a sinusoidal function approximating annual average daily ambient temperature. To run the model the program needs to first read the real-time-clock from the PC to establish the current day of the year. The time is then formatted and displayed on the screen together with a text based plot of the ambient temperature for the next year either as a histogram or a star plot.

This graph should be linked with computer date and time. When the date is changed using up-arrow of the key board, therefore the graph should shift as well. HELP

And your problem is what?
