Logical error in program to convert celsius to farenheit.

kipj77

Hi i was wondering why the hell this program isn't working for me, I am in a 100 level computer science class and need help. This program is supposed to take in data of degrees Fahrenheit and spit out what it is in Celsius, anyway here it is and tell me if there is anything wrong:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;
 
int main()

{

   double temperatureF;
 
   cout << "Type the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit ->  ";
 
   double temperatureF;

   cin << temperatureF;
 
   double temperatureC;  

   temperatureC=(temperatureF-32)*(5/9);

   cout << temperatureF "degrees Fahrenheit is equal to " << temperatureC << "          degrees celsius." << endl;

   return 0;

}

double temperatureC;
temperatureC=(temperatureF-32)*(5/9);
cout << temperatureF "degrees Fahrenheit is equal to " << temperatureC << " degrees celsius." << endl;
return 0;
}

Hi,
Please check thi.
I have made some changes in the code

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;
 
int main()

{

double temperatureF;
 
cout << "Type the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit -> ";
 
//double temperatureF;

cin>>temperatureF;
 
double temperatureC; 

temperatureC=(temperatureF-32)*(5/9.0);

cout << temperatureF <<"degrees Fahrenheit is equal to " << temperatureC << " degrees celsius." << endl;

return 0;

}

NOTE:Please use code tags for submitting any code

Thanks

Welcome to TSDN.
Use Code Tags while you do Post according to Posting Guidelines.
gpraghuram is right.
(5/9) will lead to a Integer value that's why your result is showing error.
Good luck with you try.

Kind regards,

Offfering such a service breeds stupid people; also, all those C and C++ programs
of yours suck big times, i.e. they all violate the Standards; better get them offline
asap. I think you don't want to be associated with that crap.
