Kernighans large earthquake problem: Difference between revisions

This code takes advantage of the standard Delphi "TStringGrid" object to do most of the heavy lifting. It is initially used to read the earthquake file into memory, breaking it up into of individual lines as it goes. Then the individual fields are stored in structurs/records attached to the data. finally, the data is sorted by magnitude so the earthquakes of magnitudes greater than six can be extracted. Because the data is now neatly organized in memory, all kinds of other process could be done, including sorting it by date or location. To make the problem more realistic, I extracted actual earthquake data from the first few months of 2023. I've post the data for other people to test here: [https://fountainware.com/download/EarthQuakes.txt EarthQuakes.txt]
