Java: Fahrenheit to Celsius degree
Convert Fahrenheit to Celsius
Write a Java program to convert temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius degrees.
The Fahrenheit scale is a temperature scale based on one proposed in 1724 by physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit. It uses the degree Fahrenheit (symbol: °F) as the unit.
The Celsius scale, previously known as the centigrade scale, is a temperature scale used by the International System of Units (SI). As an SI derived unit, it is used by all countries in the world, except the U.S.
Test Data
Input a degree in Fahrenheit: 212
Sample Solution:
Java Code:
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Exercise1 {
public static void main(String[] Strings) {
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Input a degree in Fahrenheit: ");
double fahrenheit = input.nextDouble();
double celsius =(( 5 *(fahrenheit - 32.0)) / 9.0);
System.out.println(fahrenheit + " degree Fahrenheit is equal to " + celsius + " in Celsius");
}
}
Sample Output:
Input a degree in Fahrenheit: 212 212.0 degree Fahrenheit is equal to 100.0 in Celsius
