From Scratch - Need Help

[05l8kr]

I'm suppose to write a program to convert a temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius or from Celsius to Fahrenheit.

* Ask the user which way they want to convert (use a menu 1 = Fahrenheit to Celsius; 2 = Celsius to Fahrenheit)
* Then have the user enter the temperature.
* Convert the temperature to the new temperature
* Print out the original temperature and the temperature in the new measurement

At least 3 functions – one to get from the user a number to convert, another to do the conversion and a third to print the result. More functions might be a good idea.

Make sure that the output clearly states the original number with the dimension and the new temperature and dimension.

Ex. 30 degrees Celsius is 86 degrees Fahrenheit

Conversion Rules: C = (5(F – 32))/9 and F = (9(C)/5) + 32

Hi,

First try it yourself.
If you faced any problem, post your code and explain the problem.

I can help. I just wrote the program. What code do you have so far?

The nothing code. LOL what do you got

The nothing code. LOL what do you got

In that case, the same nothing code.

But if you try it (and post your code/questions/errors) I'll help you with it.

I'd love to help but you gotta meet me half way. I'm not going to post the code for nothing. I benefit from helping you by either explaining it to you or by debugging your code. "WE" can get the assignment done, but you gotta meet me half way.

#include <stdio.h>

double get_input()
{
	double fahrenheit;
	printf("Enter the degrees in Fahrenheit:");
	scanf_s(" %lf", &fahrenheit);  /* Get's the degrees in Fahrenheit temperature from the user using a scanf statement.**/
	return fahrenheit;
}

double calculate(double fahrenheit)    
{          	
	return ((fahrenheit - 32) * (5.0 / 9.0)); /*Calculates the degrees Celsius from the degrees Fahrenheit*/      
} 

void output(double fahrenheit)
{   
	printf("Degrees in Celsius = %3.1f \n", calculate(fahrenheit));/** Print you results to the output */
}

int main()

{
  double fahrenheit = 0;/* temperature in degrees Fahrenheit */
  fahrenheit=get_input(); /* invokes get_input */
  output(fahrenheit);    /* invokes output */

 return 0 ;

}

This is what I have so far

error C2065: 'scanf_s' : undeclared identifier
Error executing cl.exe.

I need to have all this
* Ask the user which way they want to convert (use a menu 1 = Fahrenheit to Celsius; 2 = Celsius to Fahrenheit)
* Then have the user enter the temperature.
* Convert the temperature to the new temperature
* Print out the original temperature and the temperature in the new measurement

You must use at least 3 functions – one to get from the user a number to convert, another to do the conversion and a third to print the result. More functions might be a good idea.

Make sure that the output clearly states the original number with the dimension and the new temperature and dimension.

         else
	cout << "\nInvalid input. Please try again ...";
	cout << "\nYou converted: " << input << " to " <<

 }

 	cout << "\n\t 1 \t convert degrees F to degrees C"; ...        // more statements similar to this

      } 

	double getInput()

 double Temp;

   return Temp;
}

double convertFtoC(double F)
{
   return 5.0 / 9.0 * (Temp - 32);
}

// declare all function and return values similar to

above!!!


Ok I hope it might be of help, of course I didn't finish the program, finish it for extra credit
