Conversion - Python Programming Exercise

In this exercise, you will develop a Python program that asks the user for a temperature in Celsius and converts it to both Kelvin and Fahrenheit. The program will use the formulas: Kelvin = Celsius + 273 and Fahrenheit = Celsius * 1.8 + 32. This task allows you to practice handling user input and performing unit conversions using basic arithmetic operations in Python. By completing this exercise, you will gain a deeper understanding of Python syntax and how to work with mathematical formulas. You will also enhance your skills in working with user input and displaying the results in a clear and informative way. This is a foundational skill for building more advanced Python programs that require mathematical calculations and data conversions.

Conversion

 Objective

Develop a Python program that asks the user for a temperature in Celsius and converts it to both Kelvin and Fahrenheit. Use the following formulas for conversion:

Kelvin = Celsius + 273
Fahrenheit = Celsius * 1.8 + 32

The program should then display the temperature in both Kelvin and Fahrenheit.

 Example Python Exercise

 Copy Python Code 
# Prompt the user to enter a temperature in Celsius
celsius = float(input("Please enter a temperature in Celsius: "))

# Convert the temperature to Kelvin
kelvin = celsius + 273

# Convert the temperature to Fahrenheit
fahrenheit = celsius * 1.8 + 32

# Display the temperature in both Kelvin and Fahrenheit
print(f"The temperature in Kelvin is {kelvin}")
print(f"The temperature in Fahrenheit is {fahrenheit}")

 Output

Please enter a temperature in Celsius: 25
The temperature in Kelvin is 298.0
The temperature in Fahrenheit is 77.0
