temperature conversion from Far to Celcius

[mutual]

I'm trying to write a program that converts temperature from Far to cel and opposite.It shoul have two functions<br>FtoC and CtoF.they should be declared as private and accept sinfle argument of type int,return a value of type int.<br>I should pass fahrenheit constant as an arg to FtToC function and pass Celsius constant to CtoF function.<br><br>i even don't know how to start.Please help I'm very new in java

Dear mutual,<br><br>If you provide the math caculations here in a post I can help with the java code.<br><br>-pete

Does the program have to be GUI or is it text based?<br><br>I don't remember the formulae offhand but they are rather simply and of the form y = f(x), meaning that for one x value there is one y value. If you can manage to type out the formulae to display in this forum, then you should be able to convert it to java.<br><br>a simple outline:<br><br>public class Conversion<br>{<br>&nbsp;private double input; // the temperature to be converted<br>&nbsp;private double output;// the value of the converted temperature<br>&nbsp;Char boolean fOrC; //used to determine which way to convert, from F to C or C to f. It Should only contain an &quot;f&quot; or &quot;c&quot;<br>&nbsp;public static void main(String args[]) <br>{<br>&nbsp;//get the input from the user and assign it to the appropriate variables<br><br>if(fOrC == 'c')<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;output = cToF(input);<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;else<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;output = fToC(input);<br>&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;System.out.println(output);<br><br>}<br><br>&nbsp;<br>//the methods<br>public double cToF(double input){}<br><br>public double fToC(double input){}<br><br><br>}<br><br>All you have to do is fill in the methods and it should work. I will not complete the code for you because this sounds suspiciously like a homework question, but there should be enough to get you started. <p> fenris<br><a href=mailto:fenris@hotmail.com>fenris@hotmail.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br> I am interested in Mining Software, as well as Genetic Algorithms.

Thank you all, I figire out how to do it.It works. The only thing I didn't get that assigment was to code two variables type integer in main function and other 2 functions CtoF and FtoC should be declared as static and private.when I declare 2 variables in main compiler wouldn't recognize it.So I declared it on class level and it works fine.But that not exactly what i supposed to do.Any suggestions ??&nbsp;&nbsp;
