In most languages, the loop condition would be while (tempF != tempC), and the loop body would first decrement tempC and then recompute tempF.
But, outside of class you can be smarter. Suppose at t degrees C the F temperature is numarically the same. That means that:
t = 32 + (9/5)t
-32 = (4/5)t
t = (5/4)(-32) = -40
So -40 C is the same as -40 F. That's where your loop should stop if the integer conversion truncates toward 0 or rounds to the nearest.
( In Python, however, you'll stop at -39 unless you explicitly round the result. Python always truncates toward -infinity on float->int conversions.)
while C does not equal F
decrement temp C by 1
use resulting value to calculate F
if C == F the do this:
{ }
Rinse and repeat until done.
Your program should create two integer variables for temp in C and temp in F. Initialize the tempC to 100 degrees.
In a loop, decrement the C value and compare the corresponding temp in F until to values are the same...
I hve the varuables down. i just am confused on how to code the loop. since the variables are ints, the formula wont be exact thats ok. i just need help with the loop...
