How to convert temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit

Before we write logic in Java program, let us learn how we can convert Celsius to Fahrenheit mathematically.
We know 0° Celsius is equal to 32° Fahrenheit.

Equation to convert temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit is given by:

F = C * (9/5) + 32

or

F = C * 1.8 + 32

Here, C is temperature in Celsius.

Program to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit

/**
 * Java program to convert temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit.
 */
import java.util.Scanner;

public class TemperatureConverter {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
        
        /* Input temperature in Celsius from user */
        System.out.print("Enter temperature in Celsius: ");
        float C = in.nextFloat();
        
        /* Convert Celsius to Fahrenheit */
        float F = C * (9f / 5) + 32;
        
        /* Print result */
        System.out.println(C + " degree Celsius is equal to " + F +" degree Fahrenheit.");
       
    }
}

Enter temperature in Celsius: 28.5
28.5 degree Celsius is equal to 83.3 degree Fahrenheit.

Happy coding 😉
