Python Project: Temperature Converter

Project Description

Create a converter from Fahrenheit to celsius using the formula

°𝐶=(°𝐹−32)×5/9

Project

• Prompt the user for temperature in Fahrenheit
• Calculate the temperature in Celsius
• Print the result

Examples

• 75 → 23.89

Step 1 Prompt the user

You can use the built-in function input() to prompt the user. Notice that it returns a string, which needs to be converted to float for further calculations. That can be done with the built-in function float().

# 1: prompt the user
fahrenheit_str = input('Input Fahrenheit: ')
fahrenheit = float(fahrenheit_str)

Step 2 Calculate the celsius temperature

We will use the formula. Notice that you can use round() to get 2 digits (or any number of precision if you change the second argument).

°C=(°F−32)×5/9

# 2: Caculate the celsius temperature
celsius = (fahrenheit - 32)*5/9
celsius = round(celsius, 2)

Step 3 Display the result

You can use the built-in function print() to display the result to the user.

# 3: dispaly result
print('Celsius', celsius)

The full code

The full code is given here.

# 1: prompt the user
fahrenheit_str = input('Input Fahrenheit: ')
fahrenheit = float(fahrenheit_str)
# 2: Caculate the celsius temperature
celsius = (fahrenheit - 32)*5/9
celsius = round(celsius, 2)
# 3: dispaly result
print('Celsius', celsius)
