Temperature Conversion Mixup#
Below is a short program to convert temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius. In the input box, a floating point number is given as the Fahrenheit value. We’ve set up this code challenge so that the input number will be stored in a variable named fahrenheit
—we’ll learn more about how input in Python works later in the lesson.
The code below tries to convert the fahrenheit
input value into a celsius
value. However, the output is incorrect if you run the code as it is!
Identify why the following piece of code does not produce the correct output and fix the expression so that it evaluates appropriately. Do NOT change the variable names.
The math formula for converting temperature from fahrenheit to celsius is shown below.
