One of the uses of fruitful functions is to write functions that perform various unit conversions. Already this semester you've re-written the code to convert from kilometers to meters, years to seconds, and vice-versa. However, you can write a function once and reuse that code in many different programs. Today you will demonstrate your knowledge of fruitful functions by writing a function to convert temperatures.
Create a function
called fahrenheit_to_celsius(degrees_fahrenheit) in a
file called temperatures.py. This function should take as
a parameter a floating point value representing the temperature in
Fahrenheit and return a floating point value representing the
temperature in Celsius.
Recall that the equation to convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius is:
$$ C = (F - 32) \times \frac{5}{9}$$
Test your function by calling the function multiple times with different parameters. Make sure you use proper variable names follow the course's code conventions.
| Function Parameters | Expected Output |
|---|---|
| -15 | -26.11111111111111 |
| 0 | -17.77777777777778 |
| 32 | 0.0 |
| 100 | 37.77777777777778 |
| 212 | 100.0 |
Submissions for post labs are to be done via the inquire system. Go to http://inquire.roanoke.edu/ You should see a section for post labs. Submit your .py file to the appropriate post lab location.
