School
I have decided to add another class to my course load. Since I had a couple of credits free (the whole scholarship thing) so I added COM 252-01 which is Advanced C++. I am 99.999% certain that I will not learn anything new there, but it’s good for at least two things…
- releave some of the tension created by Java
- make it look like I did quite a bit of work in school :-)
Anyway, for the first homework we were supposed to write a program that converts between the celsius and fahrenheit scales. I got carried away (as always). This is sample session of my program…
You have: 50 reaumur
You want: romer
= 40.312500
You have: 212 fahrenheit
You want: newton
= 33.000000
You have: 5 celsius
You want: delise
= 142.500000
You have: 77 delise
You want: rankine
= 579.270020
It is obviously based on the great Unix/Linux utility ’units’ which unfortunately does not do temperature scales.
