Converting from Centigrade to Fahrenheit and vice versa.
I need to write a script that will take the input from a file and convert the number from centigrade to fahrenheit and vice versa.
This is what I have but it doesn't seem to be correct.
Also the data file has 11 numbers inside of it and the output needs to be listed as so:
Code:
Fahrenheit Temperature Centrigade Temperature
----------------------- ---------------------
1 -17
---------------------- --------------------
3 -13
---------------------- ---------------------
89 31
---------------------- -----------------------
etc.
Code:
#!/bin/sh
print_dash_line()
{
#sub function to print dashes
echo "_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "
}
#***** Start of Main Program *****
#***** Assign Variables
input_file=data.file
output_file=ans.file
# formula ft=(9/5)*ct+32
# formula ct=(5/9)*(ft-32)
echo "1. Convert Centigrade temperature into Fahrenheit"
echo "2. Convert Fahrenheit temperature into Centigrade"
echo -n "Select your choice (1-2) : "
read choice
if [ $choice -eq 1 ]
then
echo -n "Enter Centigrade Temperature : "
set `cat $input_file`
echo $1 $2 $3 $4
read ct
ft=$(echo "scale=2;((9/5) * $ct) + 32" |bc)
echo " Centigrade Temperature Fahrenheit Temperature " > $output_file
print_dash_line >> $output_file
echo >> $output_file
echo " $ct $ft " >> $output_file
print_dash_line >> $output_file
elif [ $choice -eq 2 ]
then
echo -n "Enter Fahrenheit Temperature : "
set `cat $input_file`
echo $1 $2 $3 $4
read ft
ct=$(echo "scale=2; (5/9)*($ft-32)" |bc)
echo " Fahrenheit Temperature Centigrade Temperature " > $output_file
print_dash_line >> $output_file
echo >> $output_file
echo " $ft $ct " >> $output_file
print_dash_line >> $output_file
else
echo "Please select 1 or 2"
exit l
fi
please let me know that in unix using c programming language we can do binary to string conversion and vice versa using ltoa and atol but how can we do it in c++ programming language.

round
ROUND(3) 1 ROUND(3)round - Rounds a floatSYNOPSIS
float round (float $val, [int $precision], [int $mode = PHP_ROUND_HALF_UP])
DESCRIPTION
Returns the rounded value of $val to specified $precision (number of digits after the decimal point). $precision can also be negative or
zero (default).
Note
PHP doesn't handle strings like "12,300.2" correctly by default. See converting from strings.
PARAMETERS
o $val
- The value to round
o $precision
- The optional number of decimal digits to round to.
o $mode
- Use one of the following constants to specify the mode in which rounding occurs.
+--------------------+---------------------------------------------------+
| Constant | |
| | |
| | Description |
| | |
+--------------------+---------------------------------------------------+
| | |
| PHP_ROUND_HALF_UP | |
| | |
| | Round $val up to $precision decimal places away |
| | from zero, when it is half way there. Making 1.5 |
| | into 2 and -1.5 into -2. |
| | |
| | |
|PHP_ROUND_HALF_DOWN | |
| | |
| | Round $val down to $precision decimal places |
| | towards zero, when it is half way there. Making |
| | 1.5 into 1 and -1.5 into -1. |
| | |
| | |
|PHP_ROUND_HALF_EVEN | |
| | |
| | Round $val to $precision decimal places towards |
| | the next even value. |
| | |
| | |
|PHP_ROUND_HALF_ODD | |
| | |
| | Round $val to $precision decimal places towards |
| | the next odd value. |
| | |
