    Default Java Program ferinheight to celsius Table

    I am creating a table that will convert ferinheight to celsius. I do not get any errors but the celsius column only prints out 0.0, while the ferinheight table prints from 90-110, which I want. Im not sure why the equation is not printing out. Any help is greatly appreciated thank you!






    import java.util.Scanner;

    public class Lab5{
    public static void main(String [] args){
    Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);


    System.out.println("What is your first name?");
    String name= scan.nextLine();

    System.out.println("What is your last name?");
    String name2= scan.nextLine();

    String fullname = name +" "+ name2;


    System.out.println("What country are you from?");
    String country= scan.nextLine();

    System.out.println(" ");



    System.out.println("Dear, " + fullname);

    System.out.println(" ");

    System.out.println("Welcome to the sunny city of El Paso. We realize that in " + country + ", ");

    System.out.println("you are not accustomed to degrees Fahrenheit (F). To help you, ");

    System.out.println("we are providing you with conversion to Celsius (C):");




    int start = 90;
    final int end = 110;

    System.out.println(" ");
    System.out.println("F \t C");

    System.out.println("--------------");

    while (start <= end)
    {
    double celsius = (5/9) * (start - 32);

    System.out.println(start + "\t" + celsius);

    start++;
    }




    System.out.println(" ");
    System.out.println("Enjoy our beautiful city!");
    }
    }

    Integer division versus floating point division.
    System.out.println(5/9);

    Im sorry, I dont understand. That code interferes with the equation to convert the temperatures. Could you explain in more detail? Thanks in advance!!

    I'm suggesting you stick that line of code into a test program and run it to see what result it gives.
