uninitialized local variable

[LATCH100]

float celsiusDegrees;
double fahrenheit = (9/5)* celsiusDegrees +32;

i keep getting an error on this

[Disch]

1) You never assign any value to 'celsiusDegrees'. So what number are you converting?

2) (9/5)... both 9 and 5 are integers, so this will evaluate to (1). Which is not what you want. If you want to do floating point division, you'll need to make them floating points: (9.0/5.0)

[LATCH100]

this program is suppose to have the user enter the number of degrees celsius

[denormal]

What errors are you receiving?

[LATCH100]

uninitialized local variable on celsiusDegrees

[giblit]

I think you may have looked over Disch's post. You never assign a value to it. If you want to user to enter a value then put cin >> celsiusDegrees; before doing the conversion but don't over look number 2 that Disch mentioned.

[LATCH100]

what do you mean before doing the conversion? i changed the 9/5 to 9.0/5.0 already

[giblit]

//create Celsius variable
//read into Celsius variable
//convert to Fahrenheit 

[LATCH100]

isnt celsiusDegrees my variable?

[giblit]

Yes, but you asked what I meant by before the conversion. So you declare the variable, then give it a value, then convert it. I don't know if I can explain it any other way. Other than doing the assignment for you.
Hint: cin >> [insert variable here];

[LATCH100]

i understand what you mean except for the part where you give the variable a value since the user is suppose to put it

float celsiusDegrees;
double fahrenheit = (9/5)* celsiusDegrees +32;

cout << "What is temperature in celsius";
cin >> celsiusDegrees;
cout << "Conversion to fahrenheit is" << fahrenheit << endl;

float celsiusDegrees;
double fahrenheit = (9/5)* celsiusDegrees +32; //WHY DO THE CONVERSION HERE ???

cout << "What is temperature in celsius";

cin >> celsiusDegrees; // AT LAST THE COMPUTER GETS SOMETHING TO WORK ON

// INSERT SOME CODE HERE TO DO THE CONVERSION

cout << "Conversion to fahrenheit is" << fahrenheit << endl; 

[LATCH100]

so put double fahrenheit = (9/5)* celsiusDegrees +32; where it says // insert some code to do conversion, i tried that and didnt work, i get the same issue

[giblit]

double Celsius;

std::cout << "Please enter degrees(Celsius): ";
std::cin >> Celsius;

double Fahrenheit = Celsius * 9.0 / 5.0 + 32;

Time to show us all of the code you are trying to run Latch100.

lmao ^, finally figured it out , it was actually something else i was doing wrong but you guys gave me an idea on how to solve it. thanks
