Exercise 1.5: Temperature Table (reverse)

Code

#include <u.h>
#include <libc.h>

/* print Celsius-Fahrenheit table for fahr = 0, 20, ..., 300; 
   floating-point version, with header, in reverse */

void main()
{
    float fahr, celsius;
    int lower, upper, step;

    lower = 0;  /* lower limit of temperature table */
    upper = 300;    /* upper limit */
    step = 20;  /* step size */

    celsius = upper;
    print(" C \t   F\n---\t------\n");
    while (celsius >= lower) {
        fahr = celsius * (9.0/5.0) + 32;
        print("%3.0f\t%6.1f\n", celsius, fahr);
        celsius = celsius - step;
    }
}

Output

$ 9c reverse.c; 9l reverse.o -o reverse
$ ./reverse
