Now that we’ve learned about the basics of variables and arithmetic operators, let’s write a program!

The mad scientist Kelvin has mastered predicting the weather in his mountain-side meteorology lab.

Recently, Kelvin began publishing his weather forecasts on his website, however, there’s a problem: All of his forecasts describe the temperature in Fahrenheit degrees.

Let’s convert a temperature from Fahrenheit (°F) to Celsius (°C).

The formula is the following:

C=(F32)/1.8C = (F - 32) / 1.8

Instructions

1.

First, search for the current temperature of New York City in Fahrenheit.

Declare a Double variable named tempf and initialize it with the temperature.

Declare another Double variable named tempc.

2.

Convert the temperature to Celsius using the formula provided.

Store the result in tempc.

3.

Display the result using string interpolation. Output exactly like so:

The temp is [tempc] degrees Celsius.
