OK, after days of playing with C++, I made a temperature converter... maybe you can use it too

what do you think?


it's open source.

[conkermaniac]

Hmm...well, I've never had any problems with converting temperature, so it's not an issue.

I created something like that in my first week of learning Java too...except yours is much more presentable, I guess, lol. Good work! :D

[trenzterra]

Thanks. What is yours presented in?

Oh, mine is coded in Java, but it looks essentially the same, as an executable. :)

Hey trenz...wanna team up and make err...a 1337-translator thing? :p

What the hell?

Are you using Visual C++ or something? That's some fo teh strangest code I've ever seen. :confused2

[Daniel]

Trenz, what compiler did you use?

I don't get what all of these .erase, .get etc. commands are. Are they Windows specific or something?

Maybe it's just you're code I can't follow... it definatley isn't teh prettiest code I've seen. ;)
Didn't anyone ever tell you to declare all your variables at the beginning of your program? :p

I just can't follow your code... I've attached my C++ temperature conversion as a reference...


Daniel, look up. Apparently he used Dev-C++.

[Daniel]

Thanks Bruce.

[Dusty]

Dev-C++ uses Mingw for a compiler.

Isn't that the Win32 port of GCC/G++?

Mingw is a minimalist version of GCC that is ported to Windows.

Heh, I was bored, so I decided that I would create this temperature conversion - for Celsius, Fahrenheit, AND Kelvin. This one is on the web, so you don't have to download anything. It only has two functions - to convert and to check whether your temperature is above absolute zero or not. ;)

[trenzterra]

I haven't considered Kelvin yet, seems complicated.

[LeX]

Are you serious?

All you have to do is add about 273 degrees to the celcius degree....

[trenzterra]

i haven't figured it out yet.. i will when i get more time.

and version 1.1 coming soon, it will fix a bug in fahrenheit to celcius above 32 degrees.

[Bruce]

Trenz, you're realy making things more difficult then they should be. All you really needed for the temperature converter were a few lines of code, not an entire novel.

[trenzterra]

Anyway i fix that error... version 1.1 released

I don't know anything about that 5/9 thingy and stuff.

function C(K)
C = K - 273.15
end function

that's how you do it in VBScript...you probably can figure out the C++ equivalent. I only learned Java, so I can't help there. :D

[GregT]

Can somebody tell me how to convert all these ? (kelvin, celcius, fareheight) i'm an idiont and dont know how to convert. (or read trenzbaby's code) I want to make a clean version in perl :D

[Dusty]

I think these will work, but I haven't tried them:

Fahrenheit to Celsius:

$celsius=5/9*($fahrenheit-32);

Celsius to Fahrenheit:

$fahrenheit=9/5*$celsius+32;

Celsius to Kelvin:

$kelvin=$celsius+273.15;

Kelvin to Celsius:

$celsius=$kelvin-273.15;
