PODetecting change in value read by scanf

Body
copied!<p>For an assignment we are supposed to read in a list of dates and associated values (temperatures) from a text document. Values in each line are separated by commas.</p> <p>Example data:</p> <pre><code>dd,mm,yyyy,x,y,z,w 01,01,2011,1.1,5.2,6.5,7.5 02,01,2011,2.1,5.2,6.1,1.1 03,01,2011,4.5,2.5,6.1,2.1 ... 30,01,2011,4.1,6.1,6.1,2.1 01,02,2011,2.5,6.1,7.1,6.3 </code></pre> <p>So far I have implemented a loop to read each line:</p> <pre><code>while(scanf("%d,%d,%d,%f,%f,%f,%f", &dd, &mm, &yyyy, &x, &y, &z, &w) == 7) { } </code></pre> <p>We're given the assumption that there are no errors in the document, and no duplicate dates. </p> <p>However, there may be missing entries (not each month have complete data; missing days).</p> <p>I am having trouble detecting if each month's data (mm) is a complete month or only a partial month.</p> <p>Eg: 31 days in March 2011. If I have 31 entries from March, I need to print 'Full month', otherwise if there are missing days I have to print 'Partial month'.</p> <p>So far I have been using <code>if(mm==1){}</code> statements to separate each month inside the <code>while(scanf(...))</code> loop and then incrementing them in separate variables, then comparing it with the amount of days in a complete month, but I don't know how to implement it so it detects that mm has changed from the previous line (new month) and perform a certain action (e.g.: calculations) </p> <p>Sorry if this is confusing!</p> <p>We have not been taught arrays yet, only operations, loops and functions.</p>
