c to fahrenheit

To convert a temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit in the C programming language, you can use the following formula:

Fahrenheit = (Celsius * 9/5) + 32

Here's an example code snippet that demonstrates this conversion:

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    float celsius, fahrenheit;

    printf("Enter temperature in Celsius: ");
    scanf("%f", &celsius);

    fahrenheit = (celsius * 9/5) + 32;

    printf("Temperature in Fahrenheit: %.2f\n", fahrenheit);

    return 0;
}

Let's break down the code and explain each step:

  1. We include the <stdio.h> header file, which provides input/output functions like printf and scanf.

  2. In the main function, we declare two variables: celsius to store the temperature in Celsius, and fahrenheit to store the converted temperature in Fahrenheit.

  3. We prompt the user to enter the temperature in Celsius using the printf function.

  4. We read the input temperature from the user using the scanf function and store it in the celsius variable.

  5. We perform the conversion using the formula (celsius * 9/5) + 32 and store the result in the fahrenheit variable.

  6. Finally, we use the printf function to display the converted temperature in Fahrenheit with two decimal places.

That's it! The code takes a temperature in Celsius as input, converts it to Fahrenheit, and displays the result.
