Temperature Converter

Welcome to the Temperature Converter page.

This page contains a brief description and implementation instructions for the project.

Project Description

Converts temperatures between Celsius and Fahrenheit. The user enters a temperature and the unit, and the program computes the equivalent in the other unit (C=(F–32)5/9 or F=C9/5+32).

Project Requirements

Python 3.x (no external libraries).

How to Run the Project

1. Write a script (e.g. temp_converter.py) that prompts for a value and unit (C or F).
2. Run it: python temp_converter.py. Enter temperature (e.g. 100 C); it outputs the converted value (e.g. “212.0 F”).

Key Concepts Learned

• Basic arithmetic operations and order of operations.
• Taking user input and parsing (splitting unit and number).
• Control flow for choosing formula based on unit.

Possible Extensions

• Add Kelvin scale.
• Loop to allow multiple conversions.
• Validate input format.
• Create a GUI using a simple library (Tkinter).
