A simple Rust command-line program for converting temperatures between Celsius and Fahrenheit. This project provides a basic interactive interface where users can choose between two conversion options and input a temperature to convert.
- Convert Celsius to Fahrenheit
- Convert Fahrenheit to Celsius
- Interactive CLI: User-friendly command-line prompts to select options and input temperature values.
- Error Handling: Handles invalid inputs and prompts the user to re-enter values if the input is not valid.
- Rust must be installed.
-
Clone this repository:
git clone https://github.com/imaazkhalid/temperature_unit_converter.git cd temperature_unit_converter -
Run the program with
cargo:cargo run
-
Follow the on-screen instructions to select a conversion option and enter a temperature value.
Once the program is running, you will see a menu like this:
Select an option.
(1) - Convert Celsius to Fahrenheit
(2) - Convert Fahrenheit to Celsius
- Enter
1to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, or2to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius. - After selecting an option, enter the temperature you want to convert when prompted.
- The program will then display the converted temperature.
To convert 25°C to Fahrenheit:
Select an option.
(1) - Convert Celsius to Fahrenheit
(2) - Convert Fahrenheit to Celsius
1
Enter temperature in Celsius
25
Temperature in Fahrenheit: 77
To convert 77°F to Celsius:
Select an option.
(1) - Convert Celsius to Fahrenheit
(2) - Convert Fahrenheit to Celsius
2
Enter temperature in Fahrenheit
77
Temperature in Celsius: 25
src/main.rs: Contains all logic for the program, including user input handling, conversion functions, and display.
- Celsius to Fahrenheit:
°F = (°C × 9/5) + 32 - Fahrenheit to Celsius:
°C = (°F - 32) × 5/9
This project is a beginner-level implementation and is intended as a practice exercise for learning Rust basics, especially standard input/output, loops, and basic error handling. Feel free to clone and modify as you learn more about Rust!
