#include

using std::cout;
using std::cin;
using std::endl;
int getFahrenheit();
int calcCelsius();
int main()
{

//declare variables
int fahrenheitTemperature= 0;
int celsiusTemperature=0;
//call

fahrenheitTemperature=getFahrenheit();

//display output item
cout << "Celsius temperature:" << celsiusTemperature << endl;
system ("Pause");
return 0;
} //end of main function

int getFahrenheit()
{
int fahrenheitTemperature;
cout << "Enter fahrenheit temperature:";
cin >> fahrenheitTemperature;
return fahrenheitTemperature;
}

int calcCelsius()
{
int celsiusTemperature;
celsiusTemperature = 5.0/9.0 * fahrenheitTemperature;
return calcCelsius;
}

Answer 1

I do not see your call to calcCelsius(), you should call it after the return from getFarenheit, and although this should work, (no compiler on this machine) I don't like the global scope on your vars. Consider passing them and using local vars in the future.

I know I shouldn't but...

using std::cout;
using std::cin;
using std::endl;
int getFahrenheit();
int calcCelsius(int x);
int main()
{

//declare variables
int fahrenheitTemperature= 0;
int celsiusTemperature=0;
//call

fahrenheitTemperature=getFahrenheit();
celsiusTemperature = calcCelsius(fahrenheitTemperature);

//display output item
cout << "Celsius temperature:" << celsiusTemperature << endl;
system ("Pause");
return 0;
} //end of main function

int getFahrenheit()
{
int fahrenheitTemperature;
cout << "Enter fahrenheit temperature:";
cin >> fahrenheitTemperature;
return fahrenheitTemperature;
}

int calcCelsius(int x)
{
int celsiusTemperature;
celsiusTemperature = 5.0/9.0 * x;
return calcCelsius;
}

I know its painful but this stuff gets easier the more you work with it.

Answer 3

I don't see what's happening on the getFahre... i suppose that you're calling getFarenheit().

As said before you're not calling calcCelsius() so the final result is going to be 0 as celciusTemperature is assigned 0 at the beginning.

Go get a programmer, I'm clueless.
