#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>

using namespace::std;
using std::fixed;

int main()
{
int conversionType = 0;
double temp = 0.0;
double result = 0.0;

cout << "Enter -1 (F to C) or 2 (C to F): ";
cin >> conversionType;
cout << "Enter temperature: ";
cin >> temp;

if (conversionType == '-1')
{
result = ((temp - 32) * 5) / 9 ;
}
else if (conversionType == '2')
{
result = ((temp * 9) /5) + 32;

} //end if

cout << "Result: " << result << endl;

return 0;
} //end of main function

C = F - 32 / 1.8
and
F = C + 32 * 1.8

solves all the problems.
