Welcome to C# Project 4 - Temperature Converter

This project will guide you through creating a simple console application in C# that converts temperatures between Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin. It's designed for beginners to practice mathematical operations and conditionals in C#.

Hardware Setup

Ensure you have the following hardware components:

A computer with internet access.
A keyboard and mouse for typing and navigation.

Software Requirements

Here are the software tools you'll need for this project:

Visual Studio Code or Visual Studio - These are popular Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) for C# development.
.NET SDK - Required to compile and run C# programs.

Knowledge Prerequisites

To successfully complete this project, you should be familiar with the following concepts:

Basic understanding of computer operation.
Basic C# syntax and data types.
Mathematical operations and conditionals.

“Programs must be written for people to read, and only incidentally for machines to execute.” - Harold Abelson

Project Steps:

Done

Download and install Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code.
Download and install the .NET SDK.

Done

Open your chosen IDE (Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code).
Open a terminal in your IDE.
Type the following command to create a new console application:
```
dotnet new console -n TemperatureConverter
```
Navigate to the project directory:
```
cd TemperatureConverter
```

Done

Open the `Program.cs` file in your IDE.

Replace the existing code with the following:


using System;

namespace TemperatureConverter
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Temperature Converter");
            Console.WriteLine("Enter the temperature value:");
            double temp = Convert.ToDouble(Console.ReadLine());

            Console.WriteLine("Enter the unit of the temperature (C for Celsius, F for Fahrenheit, K for Kelvin):");
            string unit = Console.ReadLine().ToUpper();

            double tempInCelsius;

            switch (unit)
            {
                case "C":
                    tempInCelsius = temp;
                    break;
                case "F":
                    tempInCelsius = (temp - 32) * 5 / 9;
                    break;
                case "K":
                    tempInCelsius = temp - 273.15;
                    break;
                default:
                    Console.WriteLine("Invalid unit.");
                    return;
            }

            double tempInFahrenheit = (tempInCelsius * 9 / 5) + 32;
            double tempInKelvin = tempInCelsius + 273.15;

            Console.WriteLine($"Temperature in Celsius: {tempInCelsius} C");
            Console.WriteLine($"Temperature in Fahrenheit: {tempInFahrenheit} F");
            Console.WriteLine($"Temperature in Kelvin: {tempInKelvin} K");
        }
    }
}

Save the file.

Done

In the terminal, type the following command to run your application:
```
dotnet run
```
Test the application by converting various temperatures and checking if the results are correct.
