How to write the code that takes input as fahrenheit and display Celsius?

Hi all,

I want to write down the code that takes an input and covert it to the desired answer. for example,

f = input('Enter temperature in Fahrenheit:')
c = (f-32)*5/9;
fprintf('The corresponding temperature in Celsius is: %2.2f','c')

Can you please tell me why this is not working?

Just remove the apostrophes from 'c' to c :

f = input('Enter temperature in Fahrenheit:')
  c = (f-32)*5/9;
  fprintf('The corresponding temperature in Celsius is: %2.2f',c)

Hi, I did that but it does not display the sentence I want to see. Although the converted result is there, in the workspace.

Try to put in the value of f, instead of getting it from the user. Say,

f = 100;
c = (f-32)*5/9;
fprintf('The corresponding temperature in Celsius is: %2.2f',c)

Now you should be able to see. This is happening because, here in this particular workspace, Matlab is not having any support for user input.

f = input('Enter temperature in Fahrenheit: ')
c = (f-32)*5/9;
fprintf('The corresponding temperature in Celsius is: %2.2f\n', c)

f = 98.6

f = 98.6000

c = (f-32)*5/9;
fprintf('The corresponding temperature in Celsius is: %2.2f\n', c)

The corresponding temperature in Celsius is: 37.00

What sentenace were you were expecting to see instead? Where were you expecting to see it?

Hi, thanks.

I am expectig to see this sentence first -

'Enter temperature in Fahrenheit: '

Then, when I input the F temperature, I want to see the result with this sentence -

'The corresponding temperature in Celsius is: '

I can see it now. Thank you!!
