Mastering Temperature: C Program for Fahrenheit to Celsius Conversion

Temperature Conversion in C: Fahrenheit to Celsius and Vice Versa

When it comes to weather, understanding temperature in different units is crucial. In this blog post, we'll explore a simple C program that allows you to convert temperatures between Fahrenheit and Celsius. Let's dive into the code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <ctype.h>

int main() {
    char unit;
    float temp;

    printf("\nIs the temperature in (F) or (C)?: ");
    scanf("%c", &unit);

    unit = toupper(unit);

    if (unit == 'C') {
        printf("\nEnter the temperature in Celsius: ");
        scanf("%f", &temp);
        temp = (temp * 9 / 5) + 32;
        printf("\nThe temperature in Fahrenheit is: %.1f", temp);
    } else if (unit == 'F') {
        printf("\nEnter the temperature in Fahrenheit: ");
        scanf("%f", &temp);
        temp = (temp - 32) * 5 / 9;
        printf("\nThe temperature in Celsius is: %.1f", temp);
    } else {
        printf("\n%c is not a valid unit of measurement", unit);
    }

    return 0;
}
        

Copy and paste this C code into your favorite compiler, and you'll be able to convert temperatures effortlessly. Whether you're dealing with Celsius or Fahrenheit, this program has you covered.
