Convert Fahrenheit to Celsius in Java

Previously we have developed a Java program to convert the temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit. In a similar way, we can also write Java program to convert the temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius.

The formula that will be used for this problem is, ⁰C = ( 5 / 9 ) * ( ⁰F – 32 )

import java.util.Scanner;

public class TemperatureConversion {

  // method to convert fahrenheit to celsius
  public static double toCelsius(double fahrenheit){
     return ((5.0/9.0) * (fahrenheit - 32));
  }

  public static void main(String[] args) {

     // declare variables
     double celsius = 0.0;
     double fahrenheit = 0.0;

     // create Scanner class object
     Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);

     // read input
     System.out.print("Enter Fahrenheit value::");
     fahrenheit = scan.nextDouble();

     // convert temperature
     celsius = toCelsius(fahrenheit);

     // display result
     System.out.format("Celsius value = %.2f",
                          celsius);

     // close Scanner class object
     scan.close();
  }
}

The output for different test-cases:-

Enter Fahrenheit value:: 98
Celsius value = 36.67

Enter Fahrenheit value:: 50
Celsius value = 10.00

Enter Fahrenheit value:: -40
Celsius value = -40.00

Note:- The -40⁰C is equal to the -40⁰F.

Java Program to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius In a range

Generally, we need to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius in between an interval. So, now, we will develop a Java program to convert the temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit in between a given range with a step like Fahrenheit = 0,20,40,60,80….,200. There are various methods, some of which are given here.

import java.util.Scanner;

public class TemperatureConversionInRange {
  // method to convert fahrenheit to celsius
  private static double toCelsius(double fahrenheit){
     return ((5.0/9.0) * (fahrenheit - 32));
  }

  public static void main(String[] args) {

     // declare variables
     int lower, upper, step;

     // create Scanner class object
     Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);

     // read input
     System.out.print("Enter Lower limit:: ");
     lower = scan.nextInt();
     System.out.print("Enter Upper limit:: ");
     upper = scan.nextInt();
     System.out.print("Enter step:: ");
     step = scan.nextInt();

     // convert temperature
     System.out.println("Fahrenheit \t"+
                         "Celsius");

     for(int i=lower; i<=upper; i+=step)
         // display result
         System.out.format("%d \t\t %.2f\n",
                     i, toCelsius(i) );

     // close Scanner class object
     scan.close();
  }
}

The output for the different test-cases:-

Enter Lower limit:: 0
Enter Upper limit:: 200
Enter step:: 20
Fahrenheit Celsius
0 -17.78
20 -6.67
40 4.44
60 15.56
80 26.67
100 37.78
120 48.89
140 60.00
160 71.11
180 82.22
200 93.33
