Write a program that can convert between celcius and farenheit temperature scales

Fahrenheit to Celsius formula: (°F - 32) x 5/9 = °C or in plain english, First subtract 32, then multiply by 5, then divide by 9.

Celsius to Fahrenheit formula: (°C × 9/5) + 32 = °F or in plain English, Multiple by 9, then divide by 5, then add 32

---------------------------------------------- Convert Fahrenheit to Celsius -----------------------------

#!/usr/bin/env python

Fahrenheit = int(raw_input("Enter a temperature in Fahrenheit: "))

Celsius = (Fahrenheit - 32) * 5.0/9.0

print "Temperature:", Fahrenheit, "Fahrenheit = ", Celsius, " C"

------------------------------------------   Convert Celsius to Fahrenheit    -------------------------

#!/usr/bin/env python

Celsius = int(raw_input("Enter a temperature in Celsius: "))

Fahrenheit = 9.0/5.0 * Celsius + 32

print "Temperature:", Celsius, "Celsius = ", Fahrenheit, " F"

--------------------------------------------------
