There are quite a number of temperature scales. For this task we will concentrate on four of the perhaps best-known ones:
|
|
[[wp:Kelvin|Kelvin]], [[wp:Degree Celsius|Celsius]], [[wp:Fahrenheit|Fahrenheit]], and [[wp:Degree Rankine|Rankine]].
|
|
|
|
The Celsius and Kelvin scales have the same magnitude, but different null points.
|
|
|
|
: 0 degrees Celsius corresponds to 273.15 kelvin.
|
|
: 0 kelvin is absolute zero.
|
|
|
|
The Fahrenheit and Rankine scales also have the same magnitude, but different null points.
|
|
|
|
: 0 degrees Fahrenheit corresponds to 459.67 degrees Rankine.
|
|
: 0 degrees Rankine is absolute zero.
|
|
|
|
The Celsius/Kelvin and Fahrenheit/Rankine scales have a ratio of 5 : 9.
|
|
|
|
|
|
;Task
|
|
Write code that accepts a value of kelvin, converts it to values of the three other scales, and prints the result.
