Question

Using Python, write the following code.

You are to allow the user to enter the daily temperature as a floating-point number. You should make the assumption that you are recording temperatures in Fahrenheit.

You should allow the user to continue entering temperatures until the value -999 is entered. This number should not be considered a temperature, but just a flag to stop the program. As the user enters a temperature, you should display the following each time:

Current Temperature: 999 F                   999 C                   

Highest Temperature so far                     999 F                    999 C

Lowest Temperature so far:                     999 F                    999 C

Average Temperature so far:                  999 F                    999 C

Note: As much as reasonably possible, the code should be broken down into smaller functions.

Note: you to read a value, process the value, and then throw it away, you do not need an array or a list.

Note: You need to search the WWW to find an equation to convert Fahrenheit into Celsius

Submission Requirements:

• You are to write your source code and create a source code document. You are to create your design tool. You are to attach the *.py source code and your design tool document to the Canvas assignment thread.

Answer 1

Python code:

def ftoc(f):#function to convert Fahrenheit to celcius

    return((f-32)*5/9)#return celcius

ctemp=int(input())#accept current temperature

htemp=ctemp#initial high temperature

ltemp=ctemp#initial low temperature

atemp=ctemp#initial average temperature

count=0#variable for finding average

while(ctemp!=-999):#loop till -999 is obtained as input

    print("Current Temperature: "+str(ctemp)+"F"+"                   "+str(ftoc(ctemp))+"C")#printing Current Temperature in Fahrenheit and celcius

    if(ctemp>htemp):#checking if new value is the highest

        htemp=ctemp#setting high temperature as current temperature

    print("Highest Temperature so far: "+str(htemp)+"F"+"                   "+str(ftoc(htemp))+"C")#printing highest Temperature in Fahrenheit and celcius

    if(ctemp<ltemp):#checking if new value is the lowest

        ltemp=ctemp#setting low temperature as current temperature

    print("Lowest Temperature so far: "+str(ltemp)+"F"+"                   "+str(ftoc(ltemp))+"C")#printing lowest Temperature in Fahrenheit and celcius

    atemp=(atemp*count+ctemp)/(count+1)#setting average temperature

    print("Average Temperature so far: "+str(atemp)+"F"+"                   "+str(ftoc(atemp))+"C")#printing average Temperature in Fahrenheit and celcius

    ctemp=int(input())#accept current temperature

    count+=1#incrementing count
