Lab 02:   Temperature Conversion

Description:      Use console I/O for temperature conversions.

INPUT:

• A Fahrenheit temperature in floating point format.

OUTPUT:

• The temperature, converted to Celsius, displayed in a complete sentence.

PROCESSING:

• Formula for temperature conversion:  C = 5/9 (F - 32)
• This formula must be "translated" into correct (logically & syntactically) C++ code.

PROGRAM INTERACTION:

Enter Fahrenheit temperature: 82.4
82.4 Fahrenheit is equivalent to 28.0 Celsius.

TEST DATA SETS:

82.4

212

-5

LOGIC:

• Prompt for Fahrenheit temperature.
• Calculate Celsius equivalent.
• Display output exactly as shown:

____ Fahrenheit is equivalent to ____ Celsius.

CODING:

• Start a New program called celsius.cpp .
• Select identifiers and data types for the data objects.
• Code expressions to calculate celsius temperature correctly.

 

CALCULATIONS:
Q. What is 5 divided by 9?     A. Zero, because of C++ integer division
Q. How do I code 5 / 9 so result is not an int ?     Think.

SUBMIT:

• A document with the following:
  • Source code listing
  • Logic plan
  • Output screenshots
