So this is the problem I'm having I need to input these five methods:
- Temperature – a constructor method. This should set the initial temperature to 100.
- getTemp – a method to return the current stored value of degrees Celsius
- convertToF – a method to convert a Celsius temperature to degrees Fahrenheit
- convertToK – a method to convert a Celsius temperature to degrees Kelvin
- updateTempC – a method to update the stored temperature in degrees Celsius
into this program:
import java.util.Scanner;
public class TempProg {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// Declare objects
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
Temperature tempConv = new Temperature();
// Declare variables
int newTemp;
boolean entryValid;
// Declare constants
final int MIN_TEMP = -273;
final int MAX_TEMP = 10000;
System.out.println("\tTemperature converter");
// Set a dummy selection value, so that we always show the options on the first go
char selection = 'x';
// Offer a list of options
while (selection != 'q') {
System.out.println("\n\tCurrent temperature in degrees C: " + tempConv.getTemp());
System.out.println("\tType f to display temperature in Fahrenheit");
System.out.println("\tType k to display temperature in Kelvin");
System.out.println("\tType c to set a new temperature");
System.out.println("\tType q to quit");
// Read from the keyboard
selection = scan.next().charAt(0);
// Act on the selection
switch(selection) {
case 'f': // Print Fahrenheit version
System.out.println("\n\t" +tempConv.getTemp()+ " degrees C = "+tempConv.convertToF() +" degrees F" );
break;
case 'k': // Print Kelvin version
System.out.println("\n\t" +tempConv.getTemp()+ " degrees C = "+tempConv.convertToK() +" degrees K" );
break;
case 'c': // Get a new temperature
entryValid=false; // Reset entryValid for this round
/* test for !entryValid
* i.e. "not entryValid"
* i.e. same as "entryValid == false"
*/
while (!entryValid) { // This will always be true the first time
System.out.print("\n\tPlease enter a new temperature: ");
newTemp = scan.nextInt();
// Check validity of new temperature
if (newTemp < MIN_TEMP || newTemp > MAX_TEMP) {
System.out.println("\tPlease enter a valid temperature");
} else {
entryValid=true;
tempConv.updateTempC(newTemp);
}
}
break;
case 'q': // Don't do anything for q, we print a message later
break;
default: // If it is not f, k, c or q then default is error message
System.out.println("\n\tOption " + selection + " not understood");
}
}
System.out.println("\n\tPROGRAM ENDED");
}
}
and this is what I have so far...
private double Temperature (double currentTemp)
{
currentTemp = 100;
return currentTemp;
}
public double convertToF (double TempF)
{
TempF = ((9 * currentTemp) / 5 ) + 32;
return TempF();
}
public double convertToK (double TempK)
{
TempK = currentTemp + 273;
return TempK();
}
public void updateTempC (double currentTemp)
{
newTemp = currentTemp;
return currentTemp();
}
public double getTemp()
{
return currentTemp;
}
it is basically won't compile and I'm 99% sure it's very wrong and I literally have no idea what to do... thoughts... suggestions?
and errors are:
