Thread: help with this code please!!!

sorry for getting back to you late my computer just froze for like 30 mins..
No anytime i try to use these methods i get erros cause without this methods my program runs really great now..
all thanks to you directions...
but we were asked to write class that contains those two methods in the program and that part i just can't figure it out

dont know if am doing thye right thing but i get errors
[java=code]
<import java.util.Scanner;

public class EX5_8{
public static void main(String args[]){
public static double celsiusToFahrenheit(double celsius){
return celsius=(5.0/9.0) * fahrenheit - 32+14.22;
}
public static double fahrenheitToCelsius(double fahrenheit){
return fahrenheit=(9.0/5.0) * fahrenheit + 32;
}
System.out.println("|Celsius |Fahrenheit||Celsius|Fahrenheit| \n");
double i=40;
double j=120;
do{
//System.out.printf(" %3.1f|%11.1f | %3.1f | %8.2f | \n",i,(i*(9.0/5)+32),j,(j*(5.0/9)-32+14.22));
System.out.printf(" %3.1f|%11.1f | %3.1f | %8.2f | \n",i,( fahrenheit),j,( celsius));
i-=1;
j-=10;
}while(i>=31 && j>=30);
}
}>
[/code]

find above is the code with the various class methods

10 errors

Tool completed with exit code 1


am getting the above errors, i have dis-functioned the loop and printf
now but i dont know where my errors are coming from now...

Norm,I really appreciated the help all they way .
But, I am lost completely on how to
use and incorporate these methods into my program..

Norm please please I cant get it right would just show me just this once please I have a similar program I have to use that same format, please am a beginner with java programming..
please help start me ,
I need just a start
I literally have been working on this since morning...pls

Your question is asking convert Celsius from 40 to 30 and Fahrenheit from 120 to 30, right???

You need to use a for loop for your answer, call the method, get result, add it to string for the display then decrement Celsius by 1 and Fahrenheit by 10,
after ending the loop display the output.

to use a method call it from the main, and put outside the main, like the following:

public class EX5_8{
	public static void main(String args[]){
			//statements
 
	}//end of main
 
	public static double mehtod(double a){
		//statments
        }
}

Thanks Bahoom, but what statements would I use for the main methods now please ?
find below is my code...

<public class EX5_8{
	public static void main(String args[]){
	}
		public static double celsiusToFahrenheit(double celsius){
			get celsius=(5.0/9.0) * fahrenheit - 32+14.22;
			}
			public static double fahrenheitToCelsius(double fahrenheit){
				get fahrenheit=(9.0/5.0) * fahrenheit + 32;
				}
			System.out.println("|Celsius |Fahrenheit||Celsius|Fahrenheit| \n");
			double i=40;
			double j=120;
			do{
				System.out.printf(" %3.1f|%11.1f |  %3.1f     |   %8.2f |  \n",i,(i*(9.0/5)+32),j,(j*(5.0/9)-32+14.22));
				i-=1;
				j-=10;
		    }while(i>=31 && j>=30);
	}

Use a simple method that calls the method, no loop.

The statements in the code in post #37 needs to be formatted properly. The indentations are not right and that makes the code hard to read and understand.

yes everything just throw me off right now ...
I have been working since early morning today but cant still get it to work with THOSE CLASSES
