Temperature Conversion using C++

This is a simple tutorial for conversion of temperature scales to Celsius or Fahrenheit or Kelvin using C++ program. The same can also easily performed using Google search using the letters c, f, and k. In this tutorial, I have used Turbo C++ v3.0 software for compiling the C++ program.

Temperature Conversion and Google Search

The general temperature conversion formulas and Google search methods such as Fahrenheit to Celsius, Celsius to Fahrenheit, Kelvin to Fahrenheit, Fahrenheit to Kelvin, Celsius to Kelvin, and Kelvin to Celsius are given below.

Temperature Conversion	Formula	Google Search
Fahrenheit to Celsius	\[{{T}_{Celsius}}=({{T}_{Fahrenheit}}-32)\times \frac{5}{9}\]	86 f to c
Celsius to Fahrenheit	\[{{T}_{Fahrenheit}}={{T}_{Celsius}}\times \frac{9}{5}+32\]	30 c to f
Kelvin to Fahrenheit	\[{{T}_{Fahrenheit}}=\left( {{T}_{Kelvin}}\times \frac{9}{5} \right)-459.67\]	300 k to f
Fahrenheit to Kelvin	\[{{T}_{Kelvin}}=({{T}_{Fahrenheit}}+459.67)\times \frac{5}{9}\]	30 f to k
Celsius to Kelvin	\[{{T}_{Kelvin}}={{T}_{Celsius}}+273.15\]	5 c to k
Kelvin to Celsius	\[{{T}_{Celsius}}={{T}_{Kelvin}}-273.15\]	300 k to c
