Chapter 17, Problem 10RQ
Write a program to calculate a temperature provided by the user into a different unit system. The program should ask the user to enter a temperature in units of degrees Fahrenheit. The program should then ask the user to choose a unit system they would like to have the value converted into, using a menu. The menu should display the choices “deg C”, “K”, and “deg R”, which should be stored in a cell array. The program should display the output in a sentence formatted as shown below. The actual values in the sentence should change appropriately as the user input and menu selection changes.
Sample Input / Output
You are to write this program twice, using two different methods as indicated below. Note that in neither case may you use conditional statements, even if you know how to do so.
- a. The program should first convert the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit to all three other unit systems (degrees Celsius, kelvin, degrees Rankine) and store the results in a
vector . It should then generate the report. - b. The program should perform ONLY the specified calculation, not all three, then generate the report. Hint: Store the necessary conversion factors in a matrix.
