Convert degrees. Degrees Celsius can be converted to degrees Fahrenheit. It is more convenient to adapt proven code than write the same code again.
Science class. We can convert temperatures with the constant 5/9. This can be done in C# programs as well as with a calculator or Internet search.
Example. Here are some simple methods that perform Celsius and Fahrenheit conversions. You can convert Celsius to Fahrenheit and back again using the constant 5/9.
Also The constant 5/9 is used. There are several constants here, two fractions and the number 32.
using System;
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
Console.WriteLine("{0} = {1}", 100, ConvertTemp.ConvertCelsiusToFahrenheit(100));
Console.WriteLine("{0} = {1}", 212, ConvertTemp.ConvertFahrenheitToCelsius(212));
Console.WriteLine("{0} = {1}", 50, ConvertTemp.ConvertCelsiusToFahrenheit(50));
Console.WriteLine("{0} = {1}", 122, ConvertTemp.ConvertFahrenheitToCelsius(122));
}
static class ConvertTemp
{
public static double ConvertCelsiusToFahrenheit(double c)
{
return ((9.0 / 5.0) * c) + 32;
}
public static double ConvertFahrenheitToCelsius(double f)
{
return (5.0 / 9.0) * (f - 32);
}
}
}100 = 212
212 = 100
50 = 122
122 = 50
Body temperature. If you are reading this, you are a human, so your body temperature should be close to the standard, which is around 98.6 degrees F. Note that this varies between people.
Note To use this program, make sure to paste in the ConvertTemp class in the same project.
using System;
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
//
// Show the temperature of the human body in Celsius.
//
double h = 98.6;
double hc = ConvertTemp.ConvertFahrenheitToCelsius(h);
Console.WriteLine("{0}, {1}", h.ToString(), hc.ToString("00.0"));
}
}98.6, 37.0
Summary. We looked at how you can convert temperatures in degrees Celsius and degrees Fahrenheit. Scientific applications may need more elaborate methods.
