Exercise 1.4 - Temperature Convertor#
Question#
Write a program to print the corresponding Celsius to Fahrenheit table.
Solution#
/***
*
* Temperature Conversion Program, Celsius to Fahrenheit!
*
* print Fahrenheit-Celsius table for fahr = 0,20 ... 300
*
***/
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
float fahr, celsius;
int lower, upper, step;
lower = 0;
upper = 300;
step = 20;
printf("C F\n\n");
celsius = lower;
while(celsius <= upper)
{
fahr = (9.0/5.0) * celsius + 32.0;
printf("%3.0f %6.1f\n", celsius, fahr);
celsius = celsius + step;
}
return 0;
}
Explanation#
In the previous exercise we converted Fahrenheit temperature to Celsius temperature. In this program we are going to convert a given Celsius temperature to Fahrenheit temperature using the formula C=(5/9)(F-32) To do this we declare some variables in the beginning of the program so that they can be used in the later stages of the program. The variables in this program are: lower,upper,step, celsius,fahr. The variable lower is assigned the value 0 similarly upper to 300, step to 20, and Celsius to lower. So when the program enters the while loop it checks whether celsius <= upper is true if it is true then it assigns the variable fahr (9.0/5.0) * celsius + 32.0 and then it prints out put.
