/*****
 *      Purpose: Get the daily temperature reading (READINGSPERDAY) and 
 *              set the minimum and maximum temperatures for the day.
 * 
 *      Parameter list:
 * int temps[]                   the array of temperatures
 *              int *minTemp               pointer to the minimum temperature value
 *              int *maxTemp               pointer to the maximum temperature value
 * 
 *      Return value:
 *              int                     the number of readings processed
