Details

The algorithm to convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit is the temperature in Celsius times 9/5, plus 32.

You are given a variable celsius representing a temperature in Celsius. Create a variable fahrenheit and apply the algorithm to assign it the corresponding temperature in Fahrenheit.

Remember to use Read-Search-Ask if you get stuck. Try to pair program. Write your own code.

Problem Explanation:

  • Explain what is asked in an easy to understand way.

Hint: 1

  • Take a look at the code, there is an area that you're not supposed to edit, from there ask yourself, what is used there that I don't see before?

Hint: 2

  • Keep in mind the order of operation check the link in the link section for more information.

Solution ahead!

Code Solution:

function convert(celsius) {
  // Only change code below this line
  var fahrenheit = (celsius * (9/5)) + 32;

  // Only change code above this line
  if ( typeof fahrenheit !== 'undefined' ) {
  return fahrenheit;
  } else {
    return 'fahrenheit not defined';
  }
}

// Change the inputs below to test your code
convert(30);

Code Explanation:

  • Make sure the proper order is followed with arithmetic using () when needed.
  • Declare the fahrenheit variable.
