What is 12 Degrees Celsius in Fahrenheit?

We can measure temperature using two units: Celsius and Fahrenheit. We can convert temperature from degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit using a formula.

12 degrees Celsius is equal to 53.6 degrees Fahrenheit.

This tutorial will go through how to convert between the temperature units and write a Python program to perform the conversion.

Formula to Convert Celsius to Fahrenheit

The formula to convert Celsius (C) to Fahrenheit (F) is:

F = (C x 9/5) + 32

Formula to Convert Fahreneit to Celsius

The formula to convert Fahrenheit (F) to Celsius (C) is:

C = (F - 32) x 5/9

Python Program to Convert Celsius to Fahrenheit

Let’s write a program to convert a temperature value from Celsius to Fahrenheit.

def temp_converter(value, is_celsius=True):

   if is_celsius:

       F = (value * (9/5)) + 32

       print(f'{value} Celsius is {round(F, 1)} Fahrenheit')

   else:

       C = (value - 32) * (5/9)

       print(f'{value} Fahrenheit is {round(C, 1)} Celsius')

In the above code, we have a function that takes two parameters, value, which is the temperature we want to convert and is_celsius, a Boolean that tells the function that the value is in Celsius if True or Fahrenheit False.

If is_celsius is True, then the function converts to Fahrenheit and prints the converted value to the console using an f-string.

If is_celsius is False, the function converts to Celsius and prints the converted value rounded to one decimal place to the console using an f-string.

If is_celsius is False, the function converts to Celsius and prints the converted value rounded to one decimal place to the console using an f-string.

Python Convert Celsius to Fahrenheit

We can take a value from the user using the input() and float() and pass it to the temp_converter function as follows:

value = float(input('Enter a temperature: '))

temp_converter(value)

Let’s run the code to see the output:

12.0 Celsius is 53.6 Fahrenheit

Python Convert Fahrenheit to Celsius

If we want the function to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, we can set the is_celsius flag to False. Let’s pass the value 53.6 Fahrenheit to the function:

value = float(input('Enter a temperature: '))

temp_converter(value, False)

53.6 Fahrenheit is 12.0 Celsius
