- TEMPERATURE CONVERSION PROGRAM
-
- This is not a statistical program. Rather, it is a handy utility program
- to convert a temperature in any scale to all others.
-
- First, you will be asked if you want if you want the results to be sent to
- the printer as well as to the screen.
-
- Next, you will be asked to enter a temperature (JUST the number and minus
- sign if appropriate; no degree signs or letters!). Then, choose from the
- menu the scale it was recorded in. For example, if you originally entered
- 38, now indicate whether this number was recorded in the Farenheit,
- Celsius, Reaumur, Kelvin or Rankine scales. Once you have done this, the
- program will give you the temperature values in all the other scales. For
- example, if you entered 38 on the Celsius scale, the program will return
- the values on the Farenheit, Reaumur, Kelvin and Rankine scales.
-
- The program will repeat until you indicate you have no more conversions to
- do by entering a zero. A sample output is on the back of this sheet.
-
- Because data entry is so simple and easy, no provision has been made to
- enter data via a file.
