C++ Fahrenheit to Kelvin

Code Explanation: C++ Fahrenheit to Kelvin Conversion

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

double fahrenheitToKelvin(double fahrenheit) {
    double kelvin = (5.0 / 9.0) * (fahrenheit - 32) + 273.15;
    return kelvin;
}

int main() {
    double fahrenheit;
    cout << "Enter the temperature in Fahrenheit: ";
    cin >> fahrenheit;
    double kelvin = fahrenheitToKelvin(fahrenheit);
    cout << "Temperature in Kelvin: " << kelvin << endl;
    return 0;
}
  1. Include Libraries:
  2. The #include <iostream> statement allows input and output operations in C++.
  3. The using namespace std; line allows the usage of elements in the std namespace without explicitly using the prefix std::.

  4. Function Definition:

  5. The fahrenheitToKelvin function takes a Fahrenheit temperature as input and returns the equivalent temperature in Kelvin.
  6. Inside the function, the conversion formula from Fahrenheit to Kelvin is applied.

  7. Main Function:

  8. The main function is where the program execution begins.
  9. It prompts the user to enter a temperature in Fahrenheit and reads the input.
  10. It then calls the fahrenheitToKelvin function to convert the entered Fahrenheit temperature to Kelvin.
  11. Finally, it displays the temperature in Kelvin.

  12. Conversion Formula:

  13. The conversion formula (5.0 / 9.0) * (fahrenheit - 32) + 273.15 transforms the Fahrenheit temperature to Kelvin.
