Exercise: Temperature Converter

Goal: Create a program that can convert a temperature in Fahrenheit, Celsius or Kelvin to the other two units.

Setup

  • Create an index.html file.
  • Create a script.js file.
  • Make sure to link the script file in the index.html.

Rules

Part 1

Your application should...

  • Prompt the user for a starting temperatureInFahr. This should be a numerical value that represents degrees in fahrenheit.
  • After receiving input it should log that same temperature in both kelvin and fahrenheit.

Part 2

Your application should...

  • Prompt the user for a starting temperature. This should be a numerical value that represents degrees.
  • Prompt the user for a starting temperature_unit. This will represent either Fahrenheit, Celsius or Kelvin.
  • The application should print out the user-submitted temperature in the two remaining units.
    • So, if the user submitted 32 and fahrenheit, the program should output something like the below. Feel free to customize this however you'd like.
      32° F = 0°C = 273.15K
      

Using Conditionals, have your code accept either fahrenheit, celsius or kelvin, and output the other two temp types.

Your temperatures, both user-submitted and converted, should be stored and accessed from an array. Your array will end up looking something like this...

var fahrenheitTemps = [ STARTING_TEMP, CONVERTED_TEMP_1, CONVERTED_TEMP_2 ];

Bonus I

Use an array to store and access the user-submitted and converted temperatures. An example...

var temps = [ STARTING_TEMP, CONVERTED_TEMP_1, CONVERTED_TEMP_2 ];

When you console.log the temperatures, make sure you do that by accessing the values stored in the array.

Bonus II

Use a for or while loop to print out the conversion results for each temperature. It's OK if you need to simplify your console.log statements and remove strings.

Bonus III

Using loops, create an interface that continues to ask the user for temp conversions until the user requests to stop.
