Learn the syntax, data types, and operations essential for programming in Scala

Become a Scala Developer

In this module, we will learn Scala from the ground up. This module aims to teach us how to write basic programs, assuming we have no prior knowledge of the language. We will start with a brief introduction to Scala to understand its functionality and applications. We will then move discuss the key features and functions of the language (data types, functions, classes, etc.) in detail. In the end, we will have all the basic knowledge of how to program in Scala.

## Task

In this challenge, you were provided with a variable that stored the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit and you were asked to convert it to degrees Celsius.

## Solution

The formula used for converting temperatures from degrees Fahrenheit to Celsius is:

```
(fahrenheit - 32) * (5D / 9D)
```

All you have to do is rewrite `celsius` and assign it the conversion formula above.

```
val celsius = (fahrenheit - 32) * (5D / 9D)
```

You can find the complete solution below:

>You were required to write the code on **line 2**.
