The document outlines the assignment details for creating a weather forecasting program using a `weatherforecaster` class that processes weather data through methods to manage a private array of `forecastday` structs. It includes specifications for various functions to add data, print forecasts, calculate total precipitation, and check temperature thresholds, with a deadline for submission. Students are required to read data from a file, instantiate the class, and implement functionality to display weather statistics based on user input.
