I don't understand C++

[eric7575]

Help I don't know what to do.

For this lab, you must be able to write up a source file, compile, link, and execute the program.

You must write a C++ language program that meets the following specifications:
The program must prompt the user for a temperature in Fahrenheit:
and output the corresponding Centigrade temperature using the following formula:
C=5/9(F-32)

Be sure to insert spaces in the output for readability.
Setup your header comments at the beginning of the source file as follows:
/*
File Name: the name of your source code file goes here

A Program to: explain what your program does here

Programmer: “Your Name Goes Here”

Date Written: today’s date

Date last revised: when you last revised the code
*/

#include <iostream> // need cin, cout and endl

using namespace std;

etc.

N.B. Be carefull with mixing integers and doubles in a formula. Remember an integer divided by an integer does not have a fractional part, i.e. 5 / 2 = 2 not 2.5

Your program must work correctly with any double input value for Fahrenheit.
Your code must be well structured and it must have comments

I miss to see your problem... might go into greater detail what is unclear to you?

The beginning of the code is already given...

/*
File Name: 

A Program to: convert Fahrenheit to Centigrade

Programmer: 

Date Written: 

Date last revised:
*/

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{

    return 0;
}

Just use cout to ask the user for his/her input, use cin to get it into a double (because of the fractional part) and then rewrite the double into Centigrade with the formula given above... Then you just need to display it with cout...
