        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "The Temperature you entered of, " + temp \n "Celsius" + conversion);

}

I need help with this code not sure what I am doing wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

hi.
does it give any errors? what is the ouput?

your temp variable is of type String, you need to parse it as integer or double before you could do the calculations.

You also need to get input before you use temp. In addition, better to assign the result to a double rather than an Object. No need for an Object variable here at all.

Okay I have working code. However, it is not making the calculations any ideas?

import javax.swing.*;
public class FahrenheitToCelsiusb {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		String fahrenheit1;
	    double fahrenheit = 98; //Say 100;
		double celsius = (5.0 / 9) * (fahrenheit - 32);

		fahrenheit1 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Enter Nummber");
		
		JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "your tempature," + celsius );
	}
	
}

Edited by macosxnerd101: Please use code tags! Like so: .

[skyzer]

your fahrenheit1 variable is of type string, you can't do calculations on that.
you have to use parseDouble method for that.

and this line

double celsius = (5.0 / 9) * (fahrenheit - 32);

won't work correctly if it's before assigning to variable by input dialog

try googling for "fahrenheit to celsius java".
there will be alot of examples which will lead you to correct path
