Functions

[tce19]

This programm calculates the wind chill index using user-entered values of air temperature and wind speed. My question is why the program does not execute my if-else statement after it ask for the user inputs.

I put the if else statement because the formula is only valid for wind speeds above 4.8 km/h. For wind speeds between 0 and 4.8 km/h, the wind chill is equal to the input temperature.
***Please Help****Thank you in advance

wind_chill = wind_chill_index (temp,wind_speed);
wind_chill_effects (a, b);

wind_chill = temp;

you declared wind_chill twice
