Goal: create a program that can convert a temperature in Fahrenheit, Celsius or Kelvin to the other two units.
- Try the bonus goals if you have extra time!
- Fork and clone this repo to your computer.
- Open
temp_converter.rb.
-
Ask the user for starting temperatures in (1) Fahrenheit, (2) Celsius and (3) Kelvin.
-
Convert each of those values to the other two temperatures. Display the starting and converted temperatures.
- Conversion formulae: http://www.csgnetwork.com/temp2conv.html
- Sample temperatures: 32F = 0C = 273.15K
-
Your output should look something like this...
Fahrenheit: ...
to Celsius: ...
to Kelvin: ...
Celsius: ...
to Fahrenheit: ...
to Kelvin: ...
Kelvin: ...
to Fahrenheit: ...
to Celsius: ...Feel free to turn to your tablemates for help!
- Ask the user for (1) a starting temperature value and (2) temperature unit (e.g., F, C, K). Store each of those in a variable.
- Create an if-elsif-else statement that contains a block for each unit of temperature. It will look something like this...
if temp_unit == "F"
...
elsif temp_unit == "C"
...
else
...
end- Each conditional block should convert the starting temperature to its equivalent value in the other two units (e.g., F should be converted to C and K).

- Sample temperatures: 32F = 0C = 273.15K
- Display the starting and converted values in the console.
- NOTE: You should only be displaying the starting and converted values for the temperature the user selected at the beginning.
# User selected "F" at the start of the program. So the output is...
Fahrenheit: ...
to Celsius: ...
to Kelvin: ...Feel free to turn to your tablemates for help!
Store the starting and converted temperatures in a hash. When you print those values to the console, do it by accessing the values in the hash.
Encapsulate the program's conversion logic in a method(s) (or in Javascript terms, functions).
Keep the program running until the user decides to quit.
- HINT: Requires a
whileloop. - When the program starts, the user should be prompted to enter a temperature OR quit the program.
- After the program displays the starting/converted temperatures, it should return to the initial user prompt.
