Welcome to C++ Project 4 - Temperature Converter

This project will guide you through creating a temperature converter in C++ that can convert temperatures between Celsius and Fahrenheit.

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 CLion - These are popular Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) for C++ development.
GCC or Visual Studio - 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 C++ syntax.
Understanding of basic input and output operations in C++.

Project Steps:

Done

Download and install Visual Studio Code or CLion.
Ensure you have a C++ compiler installed. For example, you can install GCC or use the built-in compiler in Visual Studio.

Done

Open your chosen IDE (Visual Studio Code or CLion).
Create a new file named temperature_converter.cpp.

Done

Open the temperature_converter.cpp file in your IDE.

Type the following code:


#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

void celsiusToFahrenheit(float celsius) {
    float fahrenheit = (celsius * 9 / 5) + 32;
    cout << celsius << "°C is " << fahrenheit << "°F" << endl;
}

void fahrenheitToCelsius(float fahrenheit) {
    float celsius = (fahrenheit - 32) * 5 / 9;
    cout << fahrenheit << "°F is " << celsius << "°C" << endl;
}

int main() {
    int choice;
    float temperature;

    cout << "Temperature Converter" << endl;
    cout << "1. Celsius to Fahrenheit" << endl;
    cout << "2. Fahrenheit to Celsius" << endl;
    cout << "Enter your choice (1 or 2): ";
    cin >> choice;

    if (choice == 1) {
        cout << "Enter temperature in Celsius: ";
        cin >> temperature;
        celsiusToFahrenheit(temperature);
    } else if (choice == 2) {
        cout << "Enter temperature in Fahrenheit: ";
        cin >> temperature;
        fahrenheitToCelsius(temperature);
    } else {
        cout << "Invalid choice" << endl;
    }

    return 0;
}

Save the file.

Done

Open the terminal in your IDE and navigate to the directory containing temperature_converter.cpp.
Type the following command to compile your application:
```
g++ temperature_converter.cpp -o temperature_converter
```
Type the following command to run your application:
```
./temperature_converter
```
Choose the conversion option and enter the temperature to see the result.
