m river cross-section

direction Link to heading

To model river flow, an analysis of the river cross-section is required. To obtain this, it is necessary to measure several points of depth along the river cross-section.
Create a program that can receive input for the river’s width, the number of measurement segments, and the measurement results conducted. Then display the obtained river cross-section.
Result

River width = 4
Number of segment = 2
Depth measurement at x=0 m is ..
Depth measurement at x=2 m is ..
Depth measurement at x=4 m is ..
