Challenge: Temperature Conversion
Explore how to implement temperature conversion from Fahrenheit to Celsius in Scala. This lesson helps you apply Scala arithmetic operators to solve real-world problems by performing calculations and storing results in variables.
We'll cover the following...
Problem Statement
You are given a variable fahrenheit which stores a temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. You have to create a variable celsius which converts the temperature stored in fahrenheit to degrees Celsius.
To convert temperature from degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius, you first need to subtract the temperature by 32 and then multiply it by 5 divided by 9.
Input
The input is the variable fahrenheit.
fahrenheithas already been declared for you.
Output
The output will be the value assigned to Celsius.
Sample Input
50.0
Sample Output
10.0
