Convert temperatures in fahrenheit to celsius

[mbnumba14]

Ok i need to create a java program that repeatedly read temperatures in Fahrenheit and convert them to Celsius until a temperature > 212 F (the boiling point of water) is entered.

My program is:

import java.util.*;
// Converter.java
public class Converter
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.print("Enter temp: ");
        int temp = sc.nextInt();
        System.out.println(convertToC(temp));
    }
         public static int convertToC(int temp)
    {
        return ((temp - 32 ) * 5/9);
    }
}                
 

I would really appreaciate it. Thank you. <email removed>

What is your question?

ps. use those [ code ] tags for readability reasons next time when you post code.

umm. my question is using the program that I have already posted, can you please modify that program so that it could read temperatures in Fahrenheit and convert them to Celsius until a temperature > 212 F (the boiling point of water) is entered. Thank you very much for replying. Sorry about the code tags.

And what does your program do? Note that integer division does not do what
people expect it to do.

ohh sorry, right now after a user inputs a number, the program outputs it in degrees Celcius.

ohh sorry, right now after a user inputs a number, the program outputs it in degrees Celcius.

Craft a liitle loop then and a small method that asks the user to enter a number
in Fahrenheit degrees:

for (int f= getFahrenheit(); f <= 212; f= getFahrenheit())
   System.out.println(f+"F = "+convertToC(f)+"C");
 

The convertToC() method converts Fahrenheit (its parameter) to Celcius.
You already have that method.

yeah I know ,but ok. Maybe it would be easier for you to understand my question if it is wrote out like this:



"Modify your main function in the Converter class to repeatedly read temperatures in Fahrenheit and convert them to Celsius until a temperature > 212 F (the boiling point of water) is entered."

Sorry about the confusion

But I just told you how to do that ...

oh, now I see it sorry about that. Not to sound stupid but, where would I insert that part you gave me at.

[mbnumba14]

wow thanks alot for the help. I really needed it. Thanks again

Once again I am sorry, but I am a begginner in Java programming. I tried to do what you told me but I have one error. Line 17 has the error message that reads [PHP]1 error

----jGRASP wedge2: exit code for process is 1.[/PHP]

[PHP]import java.util.*;
// Converter.java
public class Converter
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter temp: ");
int temp = sc.nextInt();
System.out.println(convertToC(temp));
}
public static int convertToC(int temp)
{
return ((temp - 32 ) * 5/9);
}
{
for (int f= getFahrenheit()); f <= 212;
f= getFahrenheit())
System.out.println(f+"F = "+convertToC(f)+"C");
for (int f= getFahrenheit();
f <= 212; f= getFahrenheit())
System.out.println(f+"F = "+convertToC(f)+"C");
}
}[/PHP]

Basically your program structure looks like this now:

public class Converter {
    public static void main(String[] args) { ... }
     public static int convertToC(int temp) { ... }
     { /* some garbage statements ... */ }
}
 

That doesn't make sense does it? I had expected that loop I wrote for you
somewhere in the main method; not dangling at the end of the class, not in
any method at all. On top of that that bunch of statements contain quite a
lot of garbage as well.
