Won't display calculated fahrenheit and celsius when running.

Please help, can't figure out why it wont display. I think it has something to do with the setter method for DegreesInCelsius and fahrenheit. on output the answers for temperature 1 fahrenheit and temperature 2 celsius is incorrect.

Code java:

---

<
public class Temperature
   {
   // Instance variable
      private double degreesInKelvin; // degrees in Kelvin
		private double degreesInCelsius;
		private double degreesInFahrenheit;
 
 
   // Constructor method: initialize degrees in Kelvin to zero
      public Temperature()
      {
         degreesInKelvin = 0;
			degreesInCelsius = 0;
			degreesInFahrenheit = 0;
      }
 
   // Convert and save degrees in Celsius in the Kelvin scale
      public void setDegreesFromCelsius(double celsius)
      {
         degreesInKelvin = celsius + 273.15;
      }
 
   // Convert and save degrees in Fahrenheit in the Kelvin scale
      public void setDegreesFromFahrenheit(double fahrenheit)
      {
         degreesInKelvin = (5.0 / 9.0) * (fahrenheit - 32) + 273.15;
      }  
 
		// Convert and save degrees in Celsius in the Kelvin scale
      public void setDegreesToCelsius(double fahrenheit)
      {
         degreesInCelsius = (fahrenheit - 32) * (5 / 9);
      }
 
   // Convert and save degrees in Fahrenheit in the Kelvin scale
      public void setDegreesToFahrenheit(double celsius)
      {
         degreesInFahrenheit = (celsius - 273.15) * (9/5) + 32;
      } 
 
   // Getter method returns the degrees in Kelvin
      public double getDegreesInKelvin()
      {
        return degreesInKelvin;
      }
 
		public double getDegreesInCelsius()
		{
			return degreesInCelsius;
		}
 
		public double getDegreesInFahrenheit()
		{
			return degreesInFahrenheit;
		}

Please Edit your post and wrap your code with[code=java]<YOUR CODE HERE>[/code] to get highlighting

Can you post what your program outputs and add comments to the output showing what is wrong with it and show what you want the output to look like?

I tried running your program.. and I got this result:
Ex.

Temperature 1 in Kelvin is 303.15
Temperature 1 in Ceslius is 0.0
Temperature 1 in Fahrenheit is 0.0

Temperature 2 in Kelvin is 272.0388888888889
Temperature 2 in Ceslius is 0.0
Temperature 2 in Fahrenheit is 0.0

so if I'm not mistake your problem is getting the value of celsius and farenheit. You need to equate the input before computing the kelvin and invoke the method setDegreesToCelsius and setDegreesToFarenheit next to the code setDegreesFromCelsius and setDegreesFromFarenheit.. You need to cast the equation (5/9) to double so that the result will not always be zero.. take a look at this modified code:

public void setDegreesFromCelsius(double celsius)
{
degreesInCelsius = celsius; //equate the value of your parameter to the instance var
degreesInKelvin = celsius + 273.15;

}

// Convert and save degrees in Fahrenheit in the Kelvin scale
public void setDegreesFromFahrenheit(double fahrenheit)
{
degreesInFahrenheit = fahrenheit; //equate the value of your parameter to the instance var
degreesInKelvin = (5.0 / 9.0) * (fahrenheit - 32) + 273.15;

}

// Convert and save degrees in Celsius in the Kelvin scale
public void setDegreesToCelsius(double fahrenheit)
{

degreesInCelsius = (fahrenheit - 32) * (double)5 / (double)9; //cast the digits so that it will not result to zero. by default the data type of 5 and 9 are integer.
}

// Convert and save degrees in Fahrenheit in the Kelvin scale
public void setDegreesToFahrenheit(double celsius)
{
degreesInFahrenheit = (celsius - 273.15) * (9/5) + 32;
}

modifying the codes, the output will be like this:

Enter a temperature in Celsius: 40
Enter a temperature in fahrenheit: 50

Temperature 1 in Kelvin is 313.15
Temperature 1 in Ceslius is 40.0
Temperature 1 in Fahrenheit is -201.14999999999998

Temperature 2 in Kelvin is 283.15
Temperature 2 in Ceslius is 10.0
Temperature 2 in Fahrenheit is 50.0
The two temperatures are not equivalent

What should the output look like?

Thanks mrowkoob. Didnt solve the whole problem but it does help.

Your welcome... I don't know the exact output you want it to be.. It was not stated well in you problem.:confused:
