%% About loading data: 
%If you are new to Matlab, you could use 'home->importdata' then
%select file(s) by hands. But it's important to learn how to load data within scripts. 
%It will save your time when you deal with massive files in different folders. 


%%% Detailed way to load. 
%set file path
%filepath = ['/Users/.../']; %might be 'c:\\...\ ' for windows
%set file name
%filename=[filepath 'daily-maximum-temperatures-in-me.xls'];

%load data 
%data = xlsread(filename, 'Sheet3'); %Notice:xlsread works only for Microsoft Excel files. For other file types use 'importdata' or 'load'

%this works if in the same folder as .m file
A = importdata('daily-maximum-temperatures-in-me.xls');  
data = A.data.Sheet3;

 Year1 = data(:,1);
% Year2 = data(:,2);
% Year3 = data(:,3);
% Year4 = data(:,4);
% Year5 = data(:,5);
% Year6 = data(:,6);
% Year7 = data(:,7);
% Year8 = data(:,8);
% Year9 = data(:,9);
% Year10 = data(:,10);

boxplot(data) % Box plot. 

%nbins=50; %number of bins in histogram.
%hist(Year1,nbins) % Generate histogram of data from one year.
