Question

Write a Temperature class using the Demo below. The class will have three conversion methods: toCelcius(), toKelvin and toFahrenheit(). These methods will return a Temperature in those three scales equal to this temperature. Note that the value of this is not changed int these coversions. In addition to these conversion methods the class will have add(Temperature), subtract(Temperature), multiply(Temperature) and divide(Temperature). These four methods all return a temperature equalled to the respective operation. Note that the this value is not changed in these operations. Two boolean methods equals(Temperature), and greaterThan(Temperature) will return true if the this is greater than the parameter. Your class should include a read() method and a toString() method. Remember methods add, subtract, multiply, divide and the threee convesion methods all return a Temperature. Include a least two constructore: a default and a explicit. Use a private helper called set() that takes the parameters of the constructor and tests for appropiate values for each possible scale. This private set() method can be used to guarantee temperrature valuese are in the proper range. The subtract() and divide() methods can call the constructor to return a temperature in a legal range. A switch statement should be used throughtout this class when choosong between "C", "K", and "F". Absolute zero for Kelvin is 0, for Fahrenheit -459.67, and fro Calvin -273.15. Your program must guarantee this absolute value is not violated. For the equal() method consider changing the this temperature and the parameter temperature to the same scale and then testing the degree value for equality.

Solution:

Note:

The java code for theTemperature class is done and the solution is uploaded with your posted class TemperatureDemoWithoutArrays.

Result:

D:Javain>java TemperatureDemoWithoutArrays
122.0 F to Celcius is 50.0 C
Temp1 is 100.0 C
Temp1 to Kalvin is 373.15 K
These two temperature are not equal
tempAve is 50.0 C
temp1 is 373.15 K
temp2 is 122.0 F
temp3 is 32.0 F
temp4 is 100.0 C
The average temperature is 333.15 K
Subtracting 122.0 F from 100.0 C gives 50.0 K
