Chapter 3, Problem 4E

Write a program that converts 27® from degrees Fahrenheit (F) to degrees Celsius (C) using the following formula:

C F

Explanation of Solution

Program:

The following program demonstrate the conversion of Fahrenheit into Celsius.

//include the header file

#include <stdio.h>

//definition of main method

int main (void)

{

//declare the required variables

float F, C;

   //get the input from the user

printf (" Enter the temperature value in Fahrenheit: ");

  scanf("%f", &F);

  //convert Fahrenheit into Celsius

  C = (F - 32) / 1.8;

   //display the result

printf (" The Celsius: %f\n",  C);

  //return statement

return 0;

}

Explanation:

In the above program, declare the required header file. Inside the main method, get the temperature from the user then convert Fahrenheit into Celsius using given formula. Finally display the output.

Sample Output

Enter the temperature value in Fahrenheit:  27

The Celsius: -2.777778
