Exercise: Temperature Converter

Goal: Create a program that can convert a temperature in Fahrenheit, Celsius or Kelvin to the other two units.

Setup

• Create an index.html file.

• Create a script.js file.

• Make sure to link the script file in the index.html.

• Use the special prompt method to get input from the user:

var userInput = prompt('What's your name?');
console.log( userInput );

• After you have computed the answer, output it to the user using the alert method:

alert("I'm saying something");

Specifications

Part 1

Your application should...

• Prompt the user for a starting temperatureInFahr. This should be a numerical value that represents degrees in fahrenheit.
• After receiving input it should log that same temperature in both Kelvin and Celsius.

Part 2

Your application should...

• Prompt the user for a starting temperature. This should be a numerical value that represents degrees.
• Prompt the user for a starting temperatureUnit. This will represent either Fahrenheit, Celsius, or Kelvin.
• The application should print out the user-submitted temperature in the two remaining units.
  • So, if the user submitted 32 and fahrenheit, the program should output something like the below. Feel free to customize this however you'd like.

    32° F = 0°C = 273.15K
    

Using Conditionals, have your code accept either fahrenheit, celsius or kelvin, and output the other two temp types.

Further: (if you get done with the above)

Part 3

Use an array to store and access the user-submitted and converted temperatures. Your array will end up looking something like this...

var temps = [ STARTING_TEMP, CONVERTED_TEMP_1, CONVERTED_TEMP_2 ];

When you console.log the temperatures, make sure you do that by accessing the values stored in the array.

Part 4

If the temperature is below 0 also print out a message like "ooh it's cold out".

If the temperature is above 40 also print out a message like "ooh it's hot out".

If the temperature is above 100 print out a message like "your literally boiling".

Part 5

Also prompt the user for their name. When you output the result, suggest the type of clothing they should wear from an array of values:

var clothes = [
 'nothing',
 'swimsuit',
 'shorts and shirt',
 'sweater',
 'sweater + jacket',
 'heavy jacket',
 'heavy jacket and toe warmers',
 'dont go outside if you want to live'
];

Part 6

Use a for or while loop to print out the conversion results for each temperature. It's OK if you need to simplify your console.log statements and remove strings.

Part 7

Using loops, create an interface that continues to ask the user for temp conversions until the user requests to stop.
