this is a homework question:

I have to write a c program that converts temperature degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius. The equation for this conversion is Celsius = 32.0. Have the program convert and display the Celsius temperature corresponding to 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit.

Your question is faulty: Celsius does not equal 32.0. 32.0 is a constant and also an equation, but not a formula, which BTW is what you need to do your conversion.

You should do your own homework and ask for guidance when you run into a wall, you're not even trying here.

Solution 2

Given your formula:

double GetTempCelcius(double TempFahrenheit){return 32.0;}

That was easy!

lol, thanks! :D

lol, somebody 1'ed my solution!?! I did exactly what OP asked for!

Yes exactly as written in the specification!
What concerns me more is that the vote was cast by a high reputation member. Three fives one of which is mine with just a one should yield a little more than what you now have received in points.

If you want you can go to your rep points page and look at the votes you received, if there is one vote regarding this question that amounts to something like -16, you can be sure that a high rep member is responsible for that.

I wouldn't be too concerned with a one vote. This happens quite often here on CP that posts are down voted. If you are a steady and diligent poster the up votes will surmount the down votes.
Just keep up the good work. Sometimes giving the correct answer to a question will not fetch you the appreciation which you deserve.

Cheers!

yeah, not terribly worried about it, I got a chuckle out of it... it was a high rep member (one with no sense of humor apparently)...

Solution 3

int main()
{
  double farenheid = 56.3;
  printf("%f", CalcCelcius(farenheid));
  return 0;
}

double CalcCelcius(double Tf)
{
  double Tc = (5/9)*(Tf-32);
  return Tc;
}

Please look up the formulas here for instance: http://www.csgnetwork.com/tempconvjava.html[^]. Feel free to google another site of which there is an abundance out there on the internets.

Cheers!
