    Write a class that contains the following two methods:

    /** Converts from Celsius to Fahrenheit */

    Hello there guys please I need help with this program in java
    this what i have done so far , please any help would much appreciated
    Thanks.


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

    Find below is the complete question

    public static double celsiusToFahrenheit(double celsius)

    /** Converts from Fahrenheit to Celsius */
    public static double fahrenheitToCelsius(double fahrenheit)

    The formula for the conversion is:

    fahrenheit = (9.0 / 5) * celsius + 32

    Write a test program that invokes these methods to display the following tables:
    Celsius Fahrenheit Fahrenheit Celsius
    40.0 104.0 120.0 48.89
    39.0 102.2 110.0 43.33
    ...
    32.0 89.6 40.0 4.44
    31.0 87.8 30.0 -1.11

    Did you have any specific questions?

    Please edit your post and wrap your code with code tags:
    [code=java]
    <YOUR CODE HERE>
    [/code]
    to get highlighting and preserve formatting.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    Can you describe what "not working" means?

    Post your code and the program's output and add some comments saying what is wrong with the output.

    Your code is unformatted and hard to read. If you want help, you must format the code and wrap it in code tags.
    I do not work with unformatted code that is hard to read.
    When you format it, I will copy it and see what it does.

    The formatted code will look like this:

    }while(i<=31 && j<=30);
    This statement is false the first time the code is executed so the loop does not repeat.

    Add this line just before the above while to see what the values of i and j are:
               System.out.println("i="+i + ", j="+j);  //  print out values of i & j

    In the original question of this assignment we are asked to use
    public static double celsiusToFahrenheit(double celsius){
    return celsius=(5.0/9.0) * fahrenheit - 32;
    }
    public static double fahrenheitToCelsius(double fahrenheit){
    return fahrenheit=(9.0/5.0) * fahrenheit + 32;
    }

    But if you look at my code i commented them because any I try to used them methods in my code I have tons of errors,please help me...

    The names used in the methods are confusing: celsiusToFahrenheit() returns celsius. The name says it should return Fahrenheit.

    Have you tested the two methods to see if their conversions are correct?
    Call each with a value, print out what it returns and check that the conversion was done correctly.

    Don't forget to use code tags when posting code.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    am sorry thats just me ..
    The question was include in your program
    <public static double fahrenheitToCelsisu(double celsius) / /converts from CToF
    public static double celsiusToFahrenheit(double fahrenheit) / /converts fromFToC>


    --- Update ---

    The want us to include those methods in the program
